Having problems

[Buff3r]

Just a question do you know where i can find them files as ive looked on my vps and i cant seem to find them? ive looked in my sql configs etc and cant see them

you should probably check with your host...

[Buff3r]

I doubt they can help as its not hardware related..

[Kindred]

your host should be helping you with things other than just hardware.

Server side settings, like permissions and owners is a HOST thing to answer.
If you are running an an unmanaged or personal server, then what the heck are you doing trying to run a server without understanding basic stuff like permissions?

[Buff3r]

I've never had problems before until now..

[Kindred]

and... if you have not had problems before now...    and YOU did not change anything recently (no new mods installed, right?)
then obviously, your HOST changed something and neglected to tell you.
