New to all this PLEASE HELP LOL "ERROR WHILE DELETING"

[Fullback]

Hey Thank you for reading this, well i install suse, got my wireless working with ndiswrapper, and everthing seems to be okay untill i tired to delete some files, in my apache directory "/usr/local/apache2/htdocs" it gives me an error saying "error while deleting /usr/local/...index.html cannot be deleted because you do not have permissions to modify its parent folder." this is very strange because when i go to my terminal i always log in as su, root)

log in as root, so everthing should work. but do i have to do something to delete files or something because i was install madwifi and then decided not to use it anymore and now i cant delete madwifi, while it is my trashcan, i try to delete it from my trashcan and it gives me the same error as above.

First of all, using root to do regular stuff is BAAAD.

Read this thouroughly http://www.linuxforums.org/forum/red...-use-root.html

Please post the sequence of commands.

This could happen when you are running Apache while trying to delete a file that's in use... by Apache.

Kill apache and then try to remove it...

and like unchiujar said, try to avoid using root as much as possible... you'll regret it one day
