How to Troubleshoot Linux

The most important thing I've learned from years of using Linux is how to troubleshoot problems. I've compiled a list of the most useful tips for fixing almost any Linux problem. Please enjoy but use these at your own risk!

  1. chmod Everything Your first step should be to give everything in sight permission to execute. This will allow any shy processes their fair share of your server. Try it out: chmod -R 777
  2. Disable SELinux This sneaky "feature" of Linux really just exists to make your life harder. Therefore, let's just turn it off forever: setenforce 0

And there you have it, you've successfully solved 99% of Linux problems! Congratulations, Bobby Tables, you did it!
