It gives me a invalid command for ps -eaf|more

So I should get more information as to who runs this ? I was told it was a dedicated server and the owner "has free reign" ?

I can individually change each directory/file but not -R which does not make sense.

What should I be asking the owner, he is very sparse on information.

Linux Apache/2.2.11 Ubuntu PHP/5.2.6-3ubuntu4.6 with Suhosin-Patch

Thank you for your time.

So what does

Code:
 
 ps

do? Still invalid command? (Perhaps Ubuntu doesn't like the switches we used).

Try

Code:
 
 chown -r <new owner> <file(s)/tree>

perhaps it doesn't like the -R

It does not like that either... I see Webmin is installed on the server but get anything run is proving futile. Whoever manages the server now, says I do have superuser access... but not even sudo is working.

Im connecting via sftp.

Do you advise upgrading the webserver ? Or must I get in contact with the current admin ?

Can you suggest any reading material ? So I can educate myself with the basics and have a solid foundation.

Thank you for your time.
