Can't overwrite a file

Sun May 07, 2017 11:43 pm

Hi! I am trying to make a security camera for my raspberry pi. With the program/service motion but, i have ran into a problem... I can't edit the permission file or overwrite the file it says permission denied. Is there anyway i can run it as root?

Do you mean the configuration file located at /etc/motion/motion.conf?

If so then

Code: Select all

sudo nano /etc/motion/motion.conf
should allow you to modify the file.
