I'm still getting "permission denied" even after I ran

sudo chown -R chatuser /home/chatuser/.lounge

I also ran a variety of other sudo chmod and sudo chown commands I found online before I even asked you because I hate to keep bothering you with every little thing! :(

It's possible that you are getting a new permission denied error, but let's make sure this .lounge folder gets squared away. Did you get the permissions changed there? From your last comment, yes, root owns all of it.

We need this to not say root at all:

 ls -la /home/chatuser/.lounge

It's not a big deal if you just want to run this as user 'reddit'.

ls -la /home/chatuser/.lounge

I'm not totally sure how to read this. Also, my formatting gets removed so it makes it harder for you to read this:

chatuser@redditclone:~/lounge-autoconnect$ ls -la /home/chatuser/.lounge total 24 drwx------ 4 chatuser root 4096 Jul 21 03:36 . drwxr-xr-x 10 chatuser chatuser 4096 Jul 21 03:01 .. -rw-r--r-- 1 chatuser root 7801 Jul 21 03:42 config.js drwxr-xr-x 2 chatuser root 4096 Jul 21 00:37 storage drwxr-xr-x 2 chatuser root 4096 Jul 21 03:44 users

Well if you go the 'reddit' user route, you'd need to reinstall TheLounge. On comments here, you can indent with 4 spaces if you want to make it monospaced code style.

Anway.... lets do

$ sudo chown -R chatuser:chatuser /home/chatuser/.lounge

And then try to start TheLounge again, then give me the output. You could also delete /home/chatuser/.lounge and /home/chatuser/lounge-autoconnect and start over and be careful not to run anything as root.

Ok I did everything all over again, installing The Lounge in user: reddit, and I got the exact same permission denied problem (see the results of ls -la in this pastebin: https://pastebin.com/3efUw36U The only thing I haven't done is I haven't updated the certificate so that the Lounge certificate is the same as the Unrealircd cerfificate (because I've been following the instructions to the letter and the instructions say to use the certificate with the word "snakeoil" in it.

I also installed Node and curl on user:reddit.

I'm also not totally sure how to remove installed packages? I know about rm -rf but that didn't seem to work on removing the lounge from chatuser. Like maybe I don't know the exact paths?

try:

$ cd ~/lounge-autoconnect
$ touch thelounge.log

Aka make sure thelounge.log exists and isn't owned by root.

With removing TheLounge, it wasn't really installed like a proper unix app, so to removing it is just this afaik:

$ sudo rm -rf /home/chatuser/.lounge
$ sudo rm -rf /home/chatuser/lounge-autoconnect

[–]portcity[S] 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (8 children)

cd ~/lounge-autoconnect

reddit@redditclone:~$ cd ~/lounge-autoconnect
reddit@redditclone:~/lounge-autoconnect$ touch thelounge.log
touch: cannot touch ‘thelounge.log’: Permission denied

Ok, I used those commands above to remove the lounge from user: chatuser.

It sounds like your TheLounge folder isn't owned by you?

$ ls -la ~/lounge-autoconnect

[–]portcity[S] 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (6 children)

ls -la ~/lounge-autoconnect

Yup: https://pastebin.com/zA0ni0EM

Yeah your whole directory is owned by root. You should not be doing a sudo git clone, just a git clone, so user reddit owns it all. I'd delete it and re-do it.

Running it as user 'reddit' I get "no such file or directory'
