The directions say to run script as root. I may not be smart, but I am obedient.

Everything in the /spider install path should be owned by sysop. You <br>
should really do 'sudo chown -R sysop .'<br>
<br>
Why do you run the upgrade as root? It should be run as sysop to prevent <br>
permissions problems.<br>
