[solved] Folding@Home Multiple CPUs Problem

So I installed F@H on my computer and followed the Wiki's advice on how to set it up for multiple installs. It wasn't until after I did it all that I read the part where someone couldn't get it to work with the recent version. I tried to fix that by changing the line

#!/bin/bash
#/etc/rc.d/foldingathome
#
# Starts the Folding@Home client in the background

to

#!/bin/bash
#/etc/rc.d/foldingathome1
#
# Starts the Folding@Home client in the background

Now, that worked for the most part, but I've got another problem. Running the foldingathome1 program works, but running foldingathome2 gives me this:

bash: /opt/fah2/dylan/myfah.log: Permission denied

Any idea on what I can do about it?

Could it possibly be because only root has write access to /opt? I'm not sure if myfah.log gets written to or not, but try running the program as root and see if that works. Or temporarily give yourself write access to /opt (sudo chmod o+w /opt) to see if that works. If it does, you can go from there.

Re: [solved] Folding@Home Multiple CPUs Problem

Well, I figured it out. When I copied the fah folder to fah2, as per instructions in the wiki, it made the owner and group both "root". A quick chown fixed that, and now it seems to be running fine.
