SSL certificate for DA: permission denied

[MattV]

I´m trying to make DirectAdmin use SSL, following these instructions: http://help.directadmin.com/item.php?id=15

However, when I try and change the file permissions using DA´s admin account I get a "Permissions denied" error.

These are the commands I use:

chown diradmin:diradmin /usr/local/directadmin/conf/cakey.pem
chmod 400 /usr/local/directadmin/conf/cakey.pem

The folder located at /usr/local/directadmin/conf/ has the following file permissions:

drwx--S--- 2 diradmin diradmin    4096 Aug 28 14:27 conf

I hope someone can share some suggestions what I should do.

Sorry for such a beginner´s question, just want to make sure I don´t mess up my new VPS

You should have root access to change those rights. If you do, login as root via SSH. Then you can use these commands.

Thanks, that did the trick.
