Unable to change permissions for a folder












0















The folder permissions says
"You are not the owner, so you cannot change these permissions"



I have ran



sudo find /opt/popcorntime -type f -exec chmod 644 {} ;


But the result is




chmod: changing permissions of
'/opt/popcorntime/src/app/fonts/OpenSans-Bold.woff': Operation not
permitted.




Is there any solution for this?

  • Read the error you are not the **owner** man chown

Something may be wrong with directories

Try this:



sudo find /opt/popcorntime -type d -exec chmod 755 {} ;
sudo find /opt/popcorntime -type f -exec chmod 644 {} ;
