[Dxspider-support] Dx spider centos 6.2 install

[Brendan Minish]

Hello Fred

You would get "operation not permitted" if the files were not already
owned by the user "sysop" 

this could come about if the git clone operation had been carried out as
the root user 

the first step would be to find out who owns the directory spider 

as the sysop user 

$ls -lh should show 

ls -lh /home/sysop/
drwxrwsr-x. 25 sysop spider 4.0K Mar 13 22:30 spider



this shows that the owner is sysop the group is spider and that the
permissions are 755


as long as the owner in your case is sysop then your sysop user should
be able to run 

$ chown -R sysop.spider spider


IF sysyop user can't run 
$ chown -R sysop.spider spider

then the probable case is that another user (generally root) owns the
files as a result of running the git clone as root.  

it is perfectly in order to run chown as root to fix this 

as root, issue 
# chown -R sysop.spider /home/sysop/spider

then change back to sysop 

#su - sysop 

before proceeding 

hope this helps

Brendan.
