Geany permission denied

Question

I wanted to run a small test program, but if I execute it the terminal says:

./geany_run_script.sh: 5: ./geany_run_script.sh: ./main: Permission denied


------------------
(program exited with code: 126)
Press return to continue

I had the same problem as yours. Note that if you save your program with .c extension and after that, compile, construct and execute, it works fine (for me). — , Feb 13 '14 at 15:48

You call in your script another file/script - ./main. Be sure that you have permission to execute that file (in fact this is saying that exit code: 126). To do this, run the following command:

chmod +x /path/to/main

@MaxLange The content of what? There is a C program in the given link which can't be executed just like this from terminal. – Radu Rădeanu Nov 03 '13 at 21:10

The program was stored in a fat system and files's executable bit can't be changed there.

All I need to to solve Geany permission denied error is to specify the extension of the file that I need to execute in my case I want to execute python programming file e.g. *.py then I save it .py and execute the file by press F5 the permission denied gone.

Well my file was with .sh filename extension and it did not change permission automatically, but see my comment on the question. – jarno Nov 24 '20 at 16:56
