Hi all,

I am installing Webmin-1.300 on my FreeBSD 6.1 box. I downloaded and extracting the file which was .gz extension I had some errors.

I was in a hurry and couldn't post the error here so I downloaded same copy unto my win2k box and extracted it with winzip, winscp unto my unix box and uploaded it there.

I get this error:
[code:1]
blackbox# cd wemin-1.300

blackbox# ./setup.sh

./setup.sh: Permission denied.

blackbox#
[/code:1]
I have changed the permissions and everything yet, it's same problem. I would be graetful if anyone can help with this.

Your help would be much appreciated.

Cheers!

Are you sure it has execution permissions? If chmod a+x doesn't work, try "sh setup.sh" (it's just a bash script after all).

nske,

chmod a+x did not work so I tried sh setup.sh and that seems to have fired up.

customer could be happy by tomorrow morning.
