How to enable or run as root? Thank you hercules staff!
Code: 
[Fatal Error]: You are running Hercules with root privileges, it is not necessary, nor recommended. Aborting.

Yup, must easier for everything, more safety. And you can't break your server. If you don't know how to do, check my guide at B.6 but don't read after step C. From Step D it follows the old conf system so no need to do it, it won't work.

It was never recommended to run as root. However, we have recently changed source to disallow running it as root, instead of just giving a warning message.

Creating a user in linux is not so hard, but merely few commands, which you can find in guide from previous post.
