I tried to install phpnuke today but got several errors while trying to unpack it.

So I decided to delete everything and start over.

However, when I attempted to delete the files / directories I received a permission denied error.

Anyone have any clue?

I have tried the following already

Looked for hidden files like .htaccess
chmod 777 then try to delete
rm -rf
among other things.


Any help would be appreciated

What's the denial error message that you get?

perhaps some one has overidden your normal rm command. Try /bin/rm -fr [dir]

also, try chmod with the -r option to recursively change all files in every directory. If a file is owned by another user, it should report a problem.

I receive the following when I rm -rf

rm: cannot unlink ...dir... : permission denied

Tried the chmod -r also...

Did you su to root?

Try
chmod -r 777 dir/

Then rm -rf dir.

This may work.

Have a great day :)
