Bash Scripting - Basics
You have a script deploy.sh that you want to run directly by typing ./deploy.sh. However, it still says "Permission denied" after chmod +x deploy.sh. What could be the reason?
AThe script is on a mounted filesystem that does not support execute permissions.
BYou forgot to add read permission with <code>chmod +r deploy.sh</code>.
CYou need to rename the script to <code>deploy.exe</code>.
DYou must run the script with <code>bash deploy.sh</code> instead of <code>./deploy.sh</code>.
Step-by-Step Solution
Solution:
Step 1: Confirm execute permission is set
Since chmod +x deploy.sh was run, the script should have execute permission.
Step 2: Consider filesystem limitations
Some mounted filesystems (like FAT32 or network shares) do not support Unix execute permissions, causing "Permission denied" despite chmod +x.
Step 3: Evaluate other options
Adding read permission is usually default; renaming to .exe is irrelevant in Linux; running with bash works but does not explain the permission error when running ./deploy.sh.
Final Answer:
The script is on a mounted filesystem that does not support execute permissions. -> Option A
Quick Check:
Filesystem may block execute permission despite chmod [OK]
Quick Trick:Check if filesystem supports execute permissions [OK]
Common Mistakes:
MISTAKES
Assuming chmod always works on all filesystems
Thinking read permission alone allows execution
Confusing script name extension with execution ability
