Permission denied

[wenjun]

Hi,

After the installation, i realize most of the config are under permission right restrictions.

I am already a administrator and go to root, when I tried to access the files I receive permission denied error.

Please guide me through what to do.

Thank you.

You need to be the Zimbra user when you run commands on your server. You can edit the files as root, there should be no restrictions. What is it you're trying to do?

I think it would be helpful if you read the Product Documentation as well.

You edit them as the root user, they're nothing to do with Zimbra. Please read the Admin Guide at the link I've given you above for details on runn commands as the Zimbra user.

I am already using as the root user. However when I tried to access most of the configuration files it prompt me and said Permission Error.
