Unmanaged VPS but can't edit config

Post by Herion »

Short story keept short, I can not edit the config of my VPS eventhough it's unmanaged. The support chat referred me to the forum, so here I am.

As you can see it says acces denied, anyone suggestions?

Thank you!

From what I see in your screenshot, you are trying to execute it instead of editing it.

Use an editor to access the file. A lot of distros use nano, so it would be "nano <path to your file>"

Your screen shot also indicates that you ran out of memory. You might need to consider upgrading your VDS to add more memory.
