Install dmotd Permission denied - sudo users

are you logging in as root user or a sudo user account ?

what is output for these commands

Code (Text):

ls -lah /usr/local/bin/dmotd
id

You need to log in as root user

 

guess that's where the problem is.. centmin mod assumes root user login

so will have to come up with fix for it in 123.09beta01

however, sudo to root user should be able to run centmin.sh

how did you setup the sudo user ? list the steps

 

and all those steps worked or the first run centmin.sh is where the problem is ?

 

strange with 123.09beta01 it at least supports sudo after install unlike 123.08stable which doesn't support sudo

but you should be able to sudo root user fine, i just tested it without problems

i tested login as sudo user = motd shows up fine

i tested sudo su and switch to root user fine

Code (Text):

sudo su

as does

Code (Text):

su

 

probably need to double check if you setup sudo user properly

fyi, 123.09beta01 has a tools/addsudousers.sh script which can add and setup sudo users too

Code (Text):

tools/addsudousers.sh desiredusername

 

Great to hear

 

that will mess up file permssions for nginx served sites !

file is owned by root so with proper sudo user it should work

if you log in as root user does it have same issue ? if not then it's your sudo user setup issue. I've tested with sudo user and no problems with dmotd permissions

 

.htaccess isn't supported in nginx so no usage using .htaccess

 

this will mess with permissions too

 

To fix nginx incorrect permissions you did use ssh commands

Code (Text):

chown -R nginx:nginx /home/nginx
chmod g+s /home/nginx
chmod g+s /home/nginx/domains/

 

fyi, 123.09beta01 has a tools/addsudousers.sh script which can add and setup sudo users too

Code (Text):

tools/addsudousers.sh desiredusername

so maybe as root user, setup a 2nd sudo user via tools/addsuousers.sh and see if logging in with this sudo user works
