hda file directories not writeable

Postby davidro » Thu Nov 25, 2010 10:38 pm

I'm new to linux and have been doing alot of reading on the forums to find my answer but need some help. I have the amahi server installed and like what I see. Trying to upload my music to var/hda/files/music but I get the IO error: error 412 saying the directory has not been made writeable for the user. I've checked all the permissions and everything is ok. I came across an answer to a forum question on this same issue and the user was told to sign into the terminal and make the following change:

"chmod 775 /var/hda/files/music"

I did this with no luck, still can't upload any files to any of the file directories, not just the music directory.

Any ideas.

Hello,

You shouldn't directly write to the directories on your server, especially not if you are using Greyhole:

These directories are made available as 'windows' shares and that's where you should copy your files:

Hope this helps,

Richard
