Changing permissions for folders and files in /var/www/?

Question

I have an array of names to insert into table A for processing, but I only want to insert records from the array that don't exist in either table B or C

Any help is much appreciated!!!

Solution 1

Make sure the group is www-data on '/var/www'

sudo chgrp www-data /var/www

Make '/var/www' writable for the group

sudo chmod 775 /var/www

Set the GID for www-data for all sub-folders

sudo chmod g+s /var/www

Your directory should look like this on an ls -l output.

drwxrwsr-x

Last, add your username to the www-data group (secondary group)

sudo usermod -a -G www-data [YOURUSERNAME]

Solution 2

My Suggestion for the permission you can use below command to find and set p:

find /var/www/html/ -type d -perm 777 |xargs chmod 0755 --
find /var/www/html/ -type f -perm 777 |xargs chmod 0644 --

OR

For Directories:

 find /path/to/your/wordpress/install/ -type d -exec chmod 755 {} \;

For Files:

find /path/to/your/wordpress/install/ -type f -exec chmod 644 {} \;

This is not a spoon feeding site. What specific thing are you having trouble with?

Does this method work with ubuntu server 12.04 LTS because I only found out that it is easier to install the Builderengine cms on 12.04 version. Thanks for the quick reply

Yes, this should work with ubuntu server 12.04.

Was able to to get into 192.168.0.xx/admin/install/index but sadly my last check box for the installation progess was unchecked it was : website folder is not writable

[user244666]

doesn't matter fixed it

The right final command is - sudo usermod -a -G GROUP USER where GROUP is the desired existing group and USER is the desired existing user

Also, if you already have files inside /var/www then the change /var/www AT THE CMD to /var/www/* -R so for example sudo chgrp www-data /var/www/* -R
