Unable to delete files
Unable to delete directory /domains/centerdl.com/public_html/modules: The directory /domains/centerdl.com/public_html/modules is not empty

How can i delete it ? please help me .

First, try deleting all the files within the "modules" directory before attempting to delete the "modules" directory.

UNIX-based systems will not allow you to delete a directory if it contains files or folders.

You can force it to delete by executing this command as root:


rm -rf /domains/centerdl.com/public_html/modules/

Presumably you're a site-owner, and not a register owner of the DirectAdmin software.

If that's the case you should be asking your hosting company for support.

are you trying to delete with rm -rf in with root privileges?

how i make it?

[floyd]

You have to login as root.

[SeLLeRoNe]

or loging directly as root, or, once you already logged as user you can use "su" and then insert root password when asked.

you login directadmin via user-level ?
if you upload/create folder via php-scripts, you can change owership.

i cant owned it : An error occured while resetting the file ownership
You must enter a valid path. eg: /public_html

/home/np18393/domains/priit74.pri.ee/public_html/public/cid{CID} is not a valid path

If you own the server you need to log in through the shell, as root, or you need to log in as an unprivileged user and su to root. And you need to either use the full path of the file you're trying to change, or you need to first cd to the directory holding the file you're changing.

If you don't own the server, then you need to discuss the issue with the server administrators, generally your hosting company.

If you do own the server but don't understand the posts offered here to help you then don't do anything; you'll probably do damage to your server. Instead hire someone to do it for you.
