  • Hi to all,


    Initialliy I want to thank shatanar for his thread on building an Ubuntu srvr + Oscam . I replaced the Oscam version with a stable one and everything worked fine. After a reboot I faced a problem with updating not only the users file "Cannot open file "/usr/local/etc/oscam.user.tmp" (errno=13 Permission denied)" but the oscam.server file, as well .


    I am getting a message at webif screen "write config error" + at log ""Cannot open file "/usr/local/etc/oscam.server.tmp" (errno=13 Permission denied)""


    Due to the fact I am newbie to all this,I would be greatful for a little help.

  • Many thanks for your prompt replies


    @ Sandman ......There is not such a file in the directory. I believe that oscam.user.tmp is a temporary file created by oscam, during processing a user's rights.


    @ Ten Below ..... My friend, I checked and I have root access, but not to the directory /usr/local/etc.


    Is there a specific command that I could possibly use in order to gain permanent root access, at the above mentioned directory ?
