As a superuser it works fine.
Any clues? |
Sounds like you installed and setup LimeWire using superuser. Not good but that is IMHO. What is the user.group of the shared directory? if it is root.root, there is your answer. Your users do not have access and you will have to change the rights of that directory. Your users may have rights or access to the files in that directory, but without access to read the directory itself, that would cause the problem you are having. The next solution that I can possibly think of involves your files or directory having execution (+x) access.
if it doesn't look like this:
drwxr-xr-x 2 root users mp3/
then make the appropriate changes to your access rights and voila! enjoy.
HTH
