Hello,
So here it is, I've been trying for a while to open the file start_server.command but when I double-click to open it, a message appears:
"The file 'start_server.command' could not be executed because you do not have the necessary access privileges."
And then below: To view or modify your access permissions, select the file in Finder and then choose File > Get Info.
I go to 'Get Info' .... I am an Administrator on my Mac yet ... I have read and write access to the file ...
How do I open it? :)
Thank you in advance ^^
Configuration: Mac OS X
Version 10.6.7
2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
2 Go 1067 MHz DDR3

Yes, that's normal because you're still not in root.
To start, type this in the terminal: sudo passwd root
This command will ask for your user password.
Then you will need to create the root password! (It's normal that nothing shows up, it's a security issue)
Once created, type the command: su
Then enter your root password.
Now you should see a # at the prompt ;-) If so, that's cool, if not... you messed up!
Have fun!
