Linux VPS - Permission Denied to connect the bot to server

I just installed a VPS server and I installed a teamspeak client as well as a bot as mentioned in the instructions on your site. The problem that I'm having is that it always gives me "Permission Denied" when I try to use the command to start the bot and I searched everywhere for this problem and I couldn't find a solution. Also, I try to open the web interface using the VPS's IP address with the 8807 port and it actually gives me nothing at all [The site can't be reached]. What am I supposed to do?

the root folder is not really here for installing stuff in, best way is to install it in a users home dir or install it like our documentation says https://sinusbot.github.io/docs/installation/linux/ and check that your file permissions are correct
Well I'm not really good at all this but actually I followed every single instruction using the link you sent me already but there's nothing changing
I'm either:
- asked for a password for the sinusbot user that I'm creating [a password which I don't know or even created]
- getting errors like; Operation not permitted / Permission Denied / Is Sinusbot already running?

I've searched everywhere here for these solutions but I got nothing yet.

- asked for a password for the sinusbot user that I'm creating [a password which I don't know or even created]

Password will be displayed on first start of the bot, instructions on how to reset the password are also displayed in the documentation
https://sinusbot.github.io/docs/faq/installation/#what-is-the-default-username-and-password

- getting errors like; Operation not permitted / Permission Denied / Is Sinusbot already running?

As I already said, you installed the bot in the /root directory of your machine, this is a BIG NONO
To fix file permissions you can use chown documentation about this command can be found man chown

And it seems you did not follow every single instruction as because the documentation states following:

You did not create or cd into this folder!

Otherwise use the installer script to install the bot: https://sinusbot.github.io/docs/installation/linux/#installer-script
