Hi!

Now, after a few weeks i want to start my Garry's Mod Server again.
The first what i did was searching for updates (./gmodserver update).
The server try to update but then he shows me everthing of my custom stuff of the server:

Maps
Weapons
Custom HUD
...

What i read: No permissions?

I try something didn't work.... so i reinstall the complete server.
After the complete install of the server i move the backup files from my old server (Maps, Weapons..)
to the folder of my new server. But after i put the files in the new server folder the same error?

What thaa fuck?

Please help!
Sorry for my english,
greetings from Germany!

Please post the output of: ls -l
What exactly does the error say? Please post more information/details/logs.

You could also run this command as root if your username is "gmodserver":
chown -R gmodserver:gmodserver /home/gmodserver

( chown -R username:group /home/gmodserver )

EDIT: corrected command syntax

The output of "ls- l"

When I try the "chown":

chown -R /home/ttt-garrysmod ttt-garrysmod:ttt-garrysmodchown: invalid user: '/home/ttt-garrysmod'

And the gmod-server-script.log

At the end: Jul 30 16:16:13 gmod-server: CHECK: FATAL: check_permissions.sh exiting with code: 1

But why?

Ups, I failed with the syntax, sorry. That should work:
chown -R ttt-garrysmod:ttt-garrysmod /home/ttt-garrysmod

Or individually:
chown ttt-garrysmod:ttt-garrysmod /home/ttt-garrysmod/serverfiles/garrysmod/maps/ttt_ski_resort_a1.bsp

chown ttt-garrysmod:ttt-garrysmod /home/ttt-garrysmod/serverfiles/garrysmod/maps/graphs/ttt_lttp_kakariko_a4.ain

chown ttt-garrysmod:ttt-garrysmod /home/ttt-garrysmod/serverfiles/garrysmod/maps/graphs/ttt_glacier.ain

First thanks for the really fast answers!

Now the command works but:

chown: changing ownership of '/home/ttt-garrysmod/serverfiles/garrysmod/materials': Operation not permitted

I should use the root user.. ?

Give it a try if you didn't use root before.

No problem :)
