    Hey guys.

    I've been toying with this for about 30 minutes and cant get my head around it. A modded version of Torrentflux that I want to run on my server needs to be able to execute binary files from "usr/local/bin".

    It says all the files it needs are found, but they are not executable. I have set the permissions to 0777 (and even 7777) and it still doesn't work.

    Ya, probably a noob question... but you godda learn somehow right? :D

    Thanks.

    To make a file executable simply run the following command:

    chmod +x filename

    Replace the filename with your filename or the path. Have fun :)

    Just tried that, still not working...

    I've also checked my php.ini file and "openbase_dir" is disabled... so now I'm really clueless :confused:

    Have you chmod the files in your /usr/local/bin folder or the files for your torrentflux?

    The binary files that the script needs are in /usr/bin, and I have tried CHMOD'ing them... there is nothing in /usr/local/bin that the script needs.

    Thanks :)
