Folder access denied (ubuntu)

[Uwe Schade]

Hello everybody,

when I try to get acces to my confluence folder, I got an error message "Permission denied", so I can't open the folder or can't get access to it. But this folder should contain the backup file and the confluence XML-configuration file, not?

Does anybody know, how I can access to it?

Regards

Uwe

Access to directories on a Unix-like system is down to the operating system.  You'll need one of the OS admins to give you permission to access the directories you want.

I've got all permissons...sudo and root. But this folder is locked for what eve reason....

What do you mean by "locked"?   

"permission denied" is the error message you are getting, that's not "locked", and that really does mean "you do not have the right to get into this directory" and you need to get the admins (root) to give you permission.

And you don't have root permission if you can't get into a directory on the file system.  Root can read everything.

Sorry, was my mistake. Did not switch to root. Access is available as soon I switched to root-user.

Thanks for help :)
