give permission to /var/www
57,335
Solution 1
use
`sudo chmod 755 /path/your/folder`
provide your password
or use this for assigning permissions recursively for sub directories.
sudo chmod -R 755 /pat/your/folder
or open nautilus with permission by
sudo nautilus
and go to your desired folder ,right click on it and finally change its permissions as per your need.
to see permission allowed use
ls -l
it will show permissions of all the folders in Working Directory.
Solution 2
Use
sudo chmod 755 /var/www/
sudo gives you administrative permission as /var is under root directory.

Sambit over 10 yearsRight now root is the owner of /var/www directory. Change the ownership of that directory to your user account by following command sudo chown -R "YOUR_USER_ACCOUNT" /var/www. After that you have all the permission over that directory.
