First, log in as root
su enter root password Second, change to the directory the files are in. cd /[path to the files] Third, check the permissions of the files to make sure they are executable. Should say xrw----- or something like that, the x is what you want to see. ls -l Foruth, if they are not executable, make them so chmod 755 [name of the file] Fifth, execute it (the ./ is only needed if you are in the same directory as the file. If not type the path and the name of the file to execute it) ./[name of the file] This is all at the command line. Do not include the brackets. Also edit your post and remove the bad language, it is against the rules. |
Thanks man, I was up all night googling an answer to this, sorry about the lang, I fixed it
