I'm having a problem with drush downloading modules, I've set up a VPS on Linode using Ubuntu 10.4 and Apache. I'm installing a new site with Drupal 7 and when trying to add modules I'm getting the following:
mkmagu@mail:/srv/www/webdesignbymary.com/public_html$ drush dl admin_menu advanced_help backup_migrate cck views ctools mollom token views_slideshow page_title imageapi pathauto

I have chmod the sites all modules & themes folders to be 755 but still can't get drush to download the modules. Getting this VPS up and running has been a big learning curve for me and I imagine I'm missed something. Right now I can install the modules one by one with the wget command.
Any help would be greatly appreciated

Has to be permissions...
The error message definitely lends to the error on permissions.... My first step would have been the chmod you attempted...
If you go to the sites/all directory and (on the terminal) do a ls -l, what is the username/group that has ownership of the files? usually it'll be something like mary/admin or admin/admin or www/something...
It could be (didn't you mention that it was a one click install for the setup you have??) that the install assigned those files as an ownership by a system user other than your account, thus making it problematic for some simple commands to modify/write to the filesystem under those directories...
Could potentially be several things, but this is my first thought.

For comments you can replace '#' with ';' in the offending .ini files.
