I got a shell, I got some space and uploaded BYOND Linux to it, as well as the world..but whenever I try to run DreamDaemon (or anything for that matter) it gives me:

DreamDaemon: Permission denied.

and when I try to do it with the strings attached:
[1] [some number here]
Dream Daemon: Permission denied.
[1] Exit 1 DreamDaemon [world].dmb 4000

where are you, digitalmouse!?

Well, first off check that you have all the right permissions set for using DD - maybe even do a chmod -R 777 * on the directory where BYOND is installed (this will change all rights to read/write/execute for anything in that directory and lower) jsut to see if that works. If it does then you can move rights up a notch or two (776 or 766 for example).

Also check to see that *you* are the owner of the BYOND directories and their contents, and not root (necessarily) if you can't change permissions.

Hope that helps.

Since I've installed BYOND on a server (my own) where *all* accounts can use BYOND, I don't have much experience with single user installations (though it should not be so different).
