Permission denied - /usr/local/bin/pkill.pl - unix

I'm installing Homebrew and when I run brew doctor it prompts:
Error: Permission denied - /usr/local/bin/pkill.pl
I've tried:
$ sudo chmod 755 /usr/local/bin/pkill.pl (also other options: 777, a-x, ...I don't know which is need it for brew)
but when ls, still:
ls: ./pkill.pl: Permission denied
lrwx------ 1 root wheel 23 11 feb 2012 pkill.pl
...
Could you tell me how to solve it? Thank you!

That first character in the directory listing (l) means the file is a symbolic link to another file. Use ls -l to find out which. It's most likely the permissions on that file that are the problem. The permissions for links are normally 755 (read and execute all users and write for owner).

This should work sudo chmod +rx /usr/local/bin/pkill.pl

How to move a file out of /usr/local if I get Permission Denied?

I would like to move the file.txt FROM usr/local/file.txt TO /usr/local/folder/file.txt.
However, every time I try I get a permission denied reply.
I have tried:
sudo mv ~/usr/local/file.txt /usr/local/folder/file.txt
When I got permission denied, I also used chmod and set a 777 just to try and still get permission denied.
What can I do?
Try this:
Check whether you have write access to the folder with
ls -l
Then you can try changing the ownership of the folder to your current user.
sudo chown -R your_username /path/to/folder
See this.

Permission Denied - \tmp\hive in sparklyr

I am trying to copy R dataframe to Spark 2.0.1 using copy_to function but it says
The root scratch dir: /tmp/hive on HDFS should be writable. Current permissions are: rw-rw-rw-
I executed winutils.exe to change the permissions but still I get the same Exception of permissions.
%HADOOP_HOME%\bin\winutils.exe chmod 777 \tmp\hive
I tried other variants of the command like -
%HADOOP_HOME%\bin\winutils.exe chmod 777 C:\tmp\hive
%HADOOP_HOME%\bin\winutils.exe chmod 777 /tmp/hive
%HADOOP_HOME%\bin\winutils.exe chmod 777 -R \tmp\hive
but nothing worked. I still get the error
I tried using advanced permission and all my permissions were set to rwx. I tried running ls -l command but was getting an error;
C:/> %HADOOP_HOME%/bin/winutils ls C:/tmp/hive
FindFileOwnerAndPermission error (1789): The trust relationship between this workstation and the primary domain failed.
My system was unable to connect to it's domain controller so I had to connect to VPN and then execute C:/> %HADOOP_HOME%/bin/winutils chmod 777 /tmp/hive.
It worked!

Permission Denied error setting 777 folder access

I created a user with admin access named hadoop. The funny thing is that when I create a folder and try to give it 777 access it gives me back an error.
hadoop#linux:~$ mkdir testfolder
hadoop#linux:~$ ls -ltra testfolder/
total 8
drwxrwxrwx 25 hadoop sudo 4096 Jun 14 20:00 ..
drwxrwxr-x 2 hadoop hadoop 4096 Jun 14 20:00 .
hadoop#linux:~$ chmod -777 -R
testfolder/ chmod: cannot read directory ‘testfolder/’: Permission denied
Why is that when I am the creator of the directory ?
hadoop#linux:~$ groups
hadoop root sudo
Strangely, using the GUI, I can go in and right click the directory and change the file permissions. Can anyone help me understand what i am not understanding.
Note : I use Ubuntu 14
Your command chmod -777 -R testfolder/ is the issue here, more specific the - as part of the first argument.
Leave it away, just use chmod 777 -R testfolder/ and all should be fine...
Not exactly sure about the details, but the -777 should remove permissions, thus preventing access at least to the recursive portion of the command. I assume that is not what you want to do. Instead you probably want to grant more permissions to the directory. Looks like the command blocks itself. Though that might be by purpose, at least in an indirect manner.

Permission denied on SBT installation

So I "installed" SBT by following directions here under the "UNIX" section by downloading the jar and creating the sbt script to run it - however instead of putting it in ~/bin/ I put it in /usr/local/sbt/. I added it to my PATH variable and when I try to run it without sudo I get a Permission denied error (below). Also below is what I see when I type in ls -l in the sbt directory.
$ sbt compile
bash: /usr/local/sbt/sbt: Permission denied
-rwxrwxr-- 1 root wheel 120 Jun 20 09:21 sbt*
-rwxrwxr--# 1 adelbertc staff 1096763 Jun 20 09:20 sbt-launch.jar*
Help?
Try changing the permissions so that you can execute it:
sudo chmod o+x /usr/local/sbt/sbt /usr/local/sbt/sbt-launch.jar
Otherwise, you can add yourself to the wheel group, or change the owner so that you own it:
sudo chown adelbertcs:staff /usr/local/sbt/sbt
(assuming that your username is adelbertcs).

File system permission error while installing drupal modules

When I try to install new modules to drupal 7 via "Install new module" form, I get following error message.
The specified file
temporary://fileTFJ015 could not be
copied, because the destination
directory is not properly configured.
This may be caused by a problem with
file or directory permissions. More
information is available in the
system log.
http://ftp.drupal.org/files/projects/date-7.x-1.0-alpha2.tar.gz
could not be saved to
temporary://update-cache/date-7.x-1.0-alpha2.tar.gz.
Unable to retrieve Drupal project
from
http://ftp.drupal.org/files/projects/date-7.x-1.0-alpha2.tar.gz.
My Drupal 7 is installed with CPanel QuickInstall tool and hosted with HostGator shared hosting service.
Any ideas how to solve this issue?
There is an issue with shared hosts and temp folders...if you want the background you can read this:
http://drupal.org/node/1008328
in the meantime try changing your tmp folder to be relative to your sites file root:
sites/default/files/temp
The quickest way to get a handle on this issue is to navigate via your web browser to:
/admin/config/media/file-system
You'll probably see an error there about not being able to write to the /tmp directory. To fix this, you can create a temp directory under site's root and set permissions appropriately.
1) Create a directory here [drupal_installed_here]/tmp
2) Navigate via your web browser to /admin/config/media/file-system and change the temp directory to be:
tmp instead of /tmp (no leading slash)
3) Try this command:
chmod 775 [drupal_istalled_here]/tmp
and refresh the /admin/config/media/file-system page
3) If that does not work, try this command:
chmod 777 /home/quickstart/websites/tmp
and refresh the /admin/config/media/file-system page
The last command opens up your temp directory permissions a lot (rwxrwxrwx), but sometimes that's necessary to get your site working on shared hosts.
This error took me a long time to figure out despite several threads on the internet related to it.
If you get this error on a page, then here are the steps that you need to follow to solve it:
Go to Admin->Reports->Recent Log Messages. Read the most recent error message. This will tell you which folder is causing the problem. It is not necessarily the directory listed in the online threads about this subject. For me it was: sites/default/files/js
If you are running Drupal on a linux server then you need to add read/write permissions to the problem folder. You can do this by going to the linux/SSH command line and typing the following (replace the folder address with the address for your folder)
chmod 777 /var/www/html/sites/default/files/js
That's it. The error message should be gone now.
My old, problematic configuration:
chmod 664 -R /var/drupal-bc/sites/default/files
chmod 664 -R /var/drupal-bc/sites/default/private
drw-rw-r-- 2 www-data www-data 4096 Jul 31 12:35 files
drw-rw-r-- 3 www-data www-data 4096 Jul 5 15:08 private
My new, functional configuration:
chmod 774 -R /var/drupal-bc/sites/default/files
chmod 774 -R /var/drupal-bc/sites/default/private
drwxrwxr-- 2 www-data www-data 4096 Jul 31 12:35 files
drwxrwxr-- 3 www-data www-data 4096 Jul 5 15:08 private
Please do not use 777 permissions, because you will have security problems. 775 will do just fine.
chmod 775 -R /var/drupal-bc/sites/default/files
chmod 775 -R /var/drupal-bc/sites/default/private
If you have javascript caching turned on, you might need to 755 the /sites/all/your-theme/js
chmod 777 /var/www/html/sites/default/files/js
solved the issue for me
