config / routes.rb和config / database.yml权限问题

Question

I'm working with ruby on rails through terminal on a mac. Every time I try to gain access to these, including every file I've created through the ruby on rails guide I keep seeing

Stephen-Troschs-MacBook-Pro:blog stephentrosch$ config/routes.rb "

-bash: config/routes.rb: Permission denied'

Stephen-Troschs-MacBook-Pro:myapp stephentrosch$ app/views/home/index.html.erb

-bash: app/views/home/index.html.erb: Permission denied'

How would I gain the correct permissions?

Answer 1

When you enter a filename by itself as a command, the OS attempts to execute it (run it as a program).

Those files are not meant to be executable (and wouldn't do anything if you did try to execute them), so they don't have that permission set.

You probably want to read them, for example by opening them in a text editor:

$ vi config.yml

Answer 2

You should use the text editor of your choice to open those files. Like vi config/routes.rb or any other editor as per your preference. You can also use any editors likes sublime, aptana which gives better flexibility to write code for beginners.
