Permission denied to view directory created by application

I'm working on creating a package for the AUR, and I have this problem. The package is Angband 3.1.0beta, FYI.
The program stores its information in a directory called "~/.angband". The problem is, since the program is running as root (needed for scores, etc.), it creates the directory as root. It seems that since it was created as root, normal users can't view it or anything.
How can I possibly fix this? I'll appreciate any help I can get.

Thanks, worked like a charm!

[Solved] Permission denied when trying to create aur4 repo

I'm trying to follow the steps here to migrate my aur packages to aur4. I've created my public key, edited ~/.ssh/config as described, and copied my public key file to my aur4 account settings.
When I run my git clone command I get this:
$ git clone ssh://[email protected]/wcgbrowser-git.git
Cloning into 'wcgbrowser-git'...
Permission denied (publickey).
fatal: Could not read from remote repository.
Please make sure you have the correct access rights
and the repository exists.
Is there a step missing here where I need to create the repository on aur4 first, or is that done automatically when I clone? Seems logical, but I couldn't find a way to create the repo either in the web interface or on the wiki. Or is this indeed an authentication issue of some kind?

The "Permission denied (publickey)" message suggests that this is the case. Double-check that your ~/.ssh/config and the public key on the AUR web interface are correct.

How to grant new user permission when the acct is created from application?

Our application team will randomly create users in DB. But the new user need to have the permission of "execute on DBMS_SNAPSHOT, DBMS_STAT, DBMS_SYSTEM" being granted from sys. We need to grant it automatically after the user is created. I was thinking about using DDL "create" trigger or just DDL database trigger. Once the trigger is fired off, issue the grant statement. We can capture the create even for the user, but got error when running the grant in the trigger or from the procedure called by trigger. My guess is that the "grant" is a DDL and DDL trigger cannot start another DDL statement. I also think about put the insert trigger on the sys.user$. But oracle would not let trigger being created on the sys tables or views.
What can we do now? The other option, I am wondering if there is a system package that can call external program (like Unix shell script) from the DDL trigger, to let the shell script do the grant, since this may not be considered as the same execution tree. Do we have such package to call from database to the UNIX shell script? Or for such need, do we have any other option?
Thanks for help!

The application teams do not have the sys permission. If the application has privileges to CREATE USER, it can then issue GRANT
Change the privileges.
But they want this being resolved from DBA.DBA did NOT make this problem.
The flawed application created the problem.
Alternatively CREATE PROCEDURE that can issue GRANT & have application call this new procedure.

Permission denied with makepkg

This is my first (and second) try at makepkg. I believe I've followed the makepkg wiki closely, just experimenting using the example package rufus. I also tried with a different package and got the same error.
bsdtar: Failed to open '/home/user/packages/rufus-0.7.0-1-i686.pkg.tar.gz': Permission denied
==> ERROR: Failed to create package file.
Any insight would be greatly appreciated

Solved
I have to chalk this one up to operator error. Much too long a day and too late at night. I created that directory as root, just typed it out as a user and never saw the error. Next morning I had an idea what I did, I just haven't been able to get back to it till now
Thanks for your input

Cannot create file "/Applications/ " Permission denied.

When installing new software Iget the following error message: "Cannot create file "/Applications/ ". Permission denied. I have used disk utilities to try to repair my permissions with no sucsess. I have also tried reinstaling the software. Any advise is appreciated.
I am using Mac OS X Yosemite 10.10.2 and Safari 8.0.4

You may need to rebuild permissions on your user account. To do this,boot to your Recovery partition (holding down the Command and R keys while booting) and open Terminal from the Utilities menu. In Terminal, type: ‘resetpassword’ (without the ’s), hit return, and select the admin user. You are not going to reset your password. Click on the icon for your Macs hard drive at the top. From the drop down below it select the user account which is having issues. At the bottom of the window, you'll see an area labeled Restore Home Directory Permissions and ACLs. Click the reset button there. The process takes a few minutes. When complete, restart.

A problem when I try to create a application view throug a Bea MQSeries Adapter8.1

          I have installed Weblogic platform 8.1 beta, and try to use the MQSeries Adapter
          which provide by Bea weblogic, and it's seems I must deploy the .ear file which
          is an application include the MQ Adapter, on a domain which provide the Integration
          function, the ear file I was download from bea site. So I deploy it in the samples/domain/platform
          domain as the docs told me. And after that I create a new directory called session
          and a subdirectory contain a manifest.xml file, I do this also due to the docs
          provide by Bea. And then I can create the application view in the application
          view console, BUT, when I try to add a Event in the console, the page and OS console
          both print this message :

SQL Express 2008 R2 - CREATE DATABASE permission denied in database 'master'

I have created a setup application with SQLEXpress 2008 as a prerequisite. On test SQLExpress installs OK
after the application is installed it must create and install a database using a mixture of SMO and Scripting. I used SMO to add the current user (who is a Windows Administrator) as a Login to the SQL Express server.
Dim l As Login = New Login(srv, My.User.Name)
                l.LoginType = LoginType.WindowsUser
                l.AddToRole("sysadmin")
                l.DefaultDatabase = "MASTER"
                l.Create()
It fails on srv.CreateDatabase with error message "permission denied in database MASTER"
this thread talks about converting the server to single user mode before adding a login
http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/sqlexpress/thread/86daf5f5-d333-40b1-ae6f-0da052a96600
how is it possible to scrip this? there is no documentation i can find.
the database must be installed in the ProgramData folder. Is there a permissions issue with this. Do I need to assign permissions to this folder somehow?
bear in mind this will be a remote install and the user expects it work flawlessly.  No manual interventions

if i connect to the sqlexpress instance (local)\SQLEXPRESSS using SQL Management Studio and try to modify the Windows User Login I get the error message:
"User does not have permission to perform this action. (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 15247)"
how is this possible. it seems to be at an impasse. can't go forward or backward
Now try launching Managenment Studio by right clicking on shortcut and choosing "Run As Adminitstartor".
If above works then you are running on Windows 2008 family OS (Vista, 2k8 or Win7) which has
UAC feature.
If above does not work then you really don't have permission then follow below.
Troubleshooting: Connecting to SQL Server When System Administrators Are Locked Out
Start the instance of SQL Server in single-user mode by using either the
-m or
-f options. Any member of the computer's local Administrators group can then connect to the instance of SQL Server as a member of the
sysadmin fixed server role.

"Couldn't create destination temporary file:Permission denied"

I am running the latest version of Final Cut Server on a Mac Pro Tower running Mac Server 10.6.X.
I keep getting 2 Error messages every time my users are trying to send content to the server via Final Cut Server client application:
(1) "Broken Pipe" and (2) "Couldn't create destination temporary file:Permission denied"
Anybody have any Ideas on how I could correct this?
Thanks

Can you elaborate on what you did to fix this? I am getting the same error. Everything was fine about a week ago. I tried repairing the disk permission in Disk Utility.

S-nail error no such directory /usr/bin/sendmail / permission denied

I am trying to get email notifications setup with smartmontools but the test email does not reach my address. s-nail is an optional dependency of smartmontools and is installed. From my understanding it should work out of the box without any configuration but it doesn't.
I attempted to send an email manually for troubleshooting purposes with this command:
sudo echo "This is the mail body" | mailx -s "This is the subject" -r sendersemail [email protected]
The mailx command produced an odd error:
/usr/bin/sendmail: No such file or directory
If I create /usr/bin/sendmail directory (and chmod it to 777) I get this error:
/usr/bin/sendmail: Permission denied
"/home/dom/dead.letter" 10/251
... message not sent.
I am lost. Does anyone have any idea what is going on here?
Last edited by dominicm (2015-02-24 22:50:38)

There is no config, it's all at defaults with only s-nail package installed. Or did you mean other non-snail config? Did you use the command as per my original post exactly and was it an external email? Did you have s-nail installed/configured before now?
I also now tried adding a .rcmail config from snail wiki linked before.
# All the examples require v15-compat!
set v15-compat
# ArchLinux-specific locations of certificates.
# Since these are subject to the ArchLinux update mechanism,
# use only those, don't try to load OpenSSL builtin ones.
# And use the TLS specific set: see "man 8 update-ca-trust"
#set ssl-ca-dir=/etc/ssl/certs
set ssl-ca-file=/etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt
set ssl-no-default-ca
# Require secure transport via protocol version TLS v1.2, exclusively.
# (Change this only [best on a per-account base, as below]
# when the remote server doesn't support this protocol!)
set ssl-method=tls1.2
# Request strict transport security checks
set ssl-verify=strict
# Essential setting: choose allowed character sets
# (Have a look at the "CHARACTER SETS" manual section)
set sendcharsets=utf-8,iso-8859-1
# When sending messages, wait until the Mail-Transfer-Agent finishs.
# Only like this you'll be able to see errors reported through the exit
# status of the MTA (including the builtin SMTP one)!
set sendwait
# To save a copy of sent messages somewhere (this will end up in your home directory)
set record=sentmail.mbox
# This may be interesting to gain some speedup when sending mail
set mimetypes-load-control
# This is optional, but you should get the big picture
# by reading the manual before you leave that off
set from="Your Name <youremail@domain>"
Still the same error. No surprise since this config doesn't add any new info that is not present in the mailx command.

Unable to open or create file ... Permission denied

I'm a new user of LC Designer ES. After creating and saving a form, I made changes and now cannot save. Error message in Log tab of Report palette says "PDF generated successfully. Unable to open or create file [file name] Permission denied." Any ideas why this would happen, and how to fix?
Thanks for any help.

If the file is already opened in another application (like Acrobat or Reader) then you wodul not be able to save it as those apps put a lock on the form.

Moved location of Pages in "Applications", now can't save "Permission Denied"

To make things easier to me I moved my iWork applications out of the iWork '09 folder and into just applications. That way I didn't have to click on applications, then the iwork folder, then the program I wanted, they are now in order with my other applications.
I now am unable to save any new documents or changes to others. I have tried this in Pages and Numbers and keep getting the "Permission Denied" error message.
I have restarted my computer several times to no avail.
Any ideas?

cd,
You didn't need to move anything. This is what shortcuts are for. There once was a Pages shortcut on your Dock, a one-click action to start the app. You could restore that. You could place a shortcut on your Desktop. Or, you could use Spotlight to start the app.
Spotlight is my favorite because I don't have to touch the mouse. Type Command-Spacebar and then type p a g e... etc. until "Pages" shows up in Top Hit in the Spotlight list, then hit Return to start the app.
