Questions related to wiki Installation(Debian)

Hi,

 

I am using DigitalOcean and I would like to get answer for few things.

I created a new user as said there... eg.hercuser.

1. Now hercuser doesn't have permission to create a directory and all.(How to fix this?)

 

While cloning hercules, we are giving ~/Hercules directory.

1. Why are we creating it in root folder?

Can't we create it in home or somewhere else?

1) Users have rights to create files/folder only inside folders they have writing permission in, note that you can view folders that you have execute permission on. As a way to overcome it add to group that can edit the files or chown all the files to hercuser or chmod all files so that other can write them (777).

 

2) ~/ signifies home category for the user you're logged with. For instance, a basic user will have ~/ equal to /home/username/, while root has it inside root, by default.
