server working perfectly for some months (Fiesty I think). FYI I have often
been told I don’t have permission to access certain files which was
annoying as I’m the only account, but ignored it as I didn’t know
how to change settings.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

not be opened, which I ignored. They were there but all stated I was not Root

When asking for root maintenance password, I enter the password I always used
and it scans some pages and gives a KABOOM.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
