User Feedback :: webserver support
so do a sudo chown or something. i havnt tried to configure monkey, but i assume it is possible to set a different dir.
monkey has a config file, really simple, but explanatory.. I find the freakin not logged in as root a holy major pain in my rear..
Go to Apps >Shells > Bash
At the prompt, type in
sudo su
hit return and that will end your not logged in as root problems.
When you do that you can then set your own password by typing
passwd
hit return and enter your own password (you'll be prompted to enter it a second time).
Your root login and password will last until you shut down.
