Cannot start Deluge - Permission error

[Anup]

Hi,

I am unable to run Deluge; for the following error:

anup@Kratos:~$ deluge
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/deluge", line 58, in <module>
import deluge
File "/var/lib/python-support/python2.5/deluge/__init__.py", line 5, in <module>
from common import INSTALL_PREFIX
File "/var/lib/python-support/python2.5/deluge/common.py", line 39, in <module>
CONFIG_DIR = xdg.BaseDirectory.save_config_path('deluge')
File "/var/lib/python-support/python2.5/xdg/BaseDirectory.py", line 59, in save_config_path
os.makedirs(path, 0700)
File "/usr/lib/python2.5/os.py", line 172, in makedirs
mkdir(name, mode)
OSError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/home/anup/.config/deluge'

How do I add necassary permissions?

sudo chown -R anup:anup /home/anup/.config/deluge && chmod -R 775 /home/anup/.config/deluge

Thanks! Issue resolved. Case closed.

I understand chmod; but what does "chown" do?

man 1 chown: "chown changes the user and/or group ownership of each given file."
