Hello Friends,

I think this very easy question i know ,,,,,,,,,,

During squid as proxy sever i had change squid permission.
with this command.

chmod 700 /etc/rc.d/init.d/squid

now i want to add few more line in /etc/squid/squid.conf
it's look like this ,

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 90225 Mar 24 23:12 squid.conf

when i type this command ,
chmod 777 squid.conf

it show this error,

chmod: changing permissions of `squid.conf': Operation not permitted

1) how can i change this file permission ,so i can add few line in /etc/squid/squid.conf

Thanks
Hitesh

su root

chmod 777 yourfile


that should work

root is the owner, so as a user you can't modify the permissions.

Hello friends,

but i 'rn give this with 'root only,

this what i had done,
login:root
password:******
[root@hylix root]# /etc/squid
[root@hylix squid] ls -l
total 240
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Mar 24 21:53 errors
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Mar 25 22:00 icons
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 26097 Mar 24 21:53 mib.txt
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 6912 Mar 24 21:53 mime.conf
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 6912 Mar 24 21:53 mime.conf.default
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 90225 Mar 24 23:12 squid.conf
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 90108 Mar 24 21:53 squid.conf.default

[root@hylix squid]# chmod 777 squid.conf
chmod: changing permissions of `squid.conf': Operation not permitted
[root@hylix squid]#

now i had put all the thing ,

do an lsattr on the file. Use chattr to unset any file attributes that are causing this. That should do it.

man 1 lsattr
man 1 chattr

Thanks nxny,

it's done,THANKS

when i restart this service with this command,

[root@hylix squid]# /etc/rc.d/init.d/squid restart
Stopping squid: squid: ERROR: No running copy

Starting squid: squid
