So I'm here, working on setting my a server for my parents office. As for a certain server program, the permissions have to be set differently. Due to operating system + software issues, I had to do it manually...

As I'm sitting there, I make the worst typo of my life:
sudo chown -R fmserver / *Presses Enter*

So...... Yeah.
If you don't really get it, bottom line, I blew up all the permissions on the entire server, and right now I'm hoping and waiting for the permissions repair to work. If not... FML.

Technically, it's FileMaker Server, but I 100% support and prefer FakeSteve's.

What I wanted to write was essentially specifying a specific folder to change permissions for. Me typing a single slash targeted my entire directory, screwing up literally every single file in my computer, setting permissions exclusively not for a user account.

What that line did was change permissions to "fmserver" for the specified directory.

rm -rf essentially means delete everything on your computer. fmserver has nothing to do with that statement.

And <3.

What happened was the permissions fixed most, but not all of them, and especially not enough to make it fully functional again. I reinstalled the operating system over a network (No CD drive, which sucks), and all the software.
Fresh start + paranoia/extreme care made it all work out, except for the fact that I got home about 20 minutes ago, without a chance to start on any of the work I actually had to do for school. Worked out well, I suppose. Just didn't get a chance to play SC or CS.
