Wierd Error

I am running my server on Ubuntu Server 6.10. The server runs fine, but when I try to move to the cstrike folder I get an error.

me@myserver:~$ cd srcds_l
me@myserver:~/srcds_l$ cd cstrike
-bash: cd: cstrike: Permission denied

here is the list of my srcds folder:

Who are you logged in as?

There is no world read on that folder - looks like it was installed by root

yup, log in as root, chown -R the folder that the server is installed so that the user and group match your normal user login. Looks like the server had been installed as root, then updated as the user.. bad boy......

Im still trying to learn Linux lol. So how do I log in as root? I only have one user account that was setup when I installed Linux.
