Trying to setup permissions for the plugins sickbeard / couchpotato.

I’ve read almost every thread google / the forums have but haven’t really found a solution yet.
I’m assuming it’s the data here: (Jail name)/usr/pbi/xxxxxxxxxx
I tried: 

chown -R guest:guest /usr/pbi/sickbeard-amd64/*  
chown -R guest:guest /usr/pbi/couchpotato-amd64/*

But I couldn’t get it to work.
Or would I have to chmod 777 the folders?

You used chown -R to change the owner of the directory, but ultimately it's the permissions that matter, which are controlled by chmod. chmod details are explained more here.

  • chmod -R for folder and chmod for file – Silfrede Mar 13 '14 at 00:16
  • Re your comment: chmod will change the mode (permissions) on a file or a directory. The only thing -R adds is that if the target is a directory, then the contents will be changed too, recursively. – Kusalananda Mar 13 '24 at 07:57
