I installed Apache server,php and mysql servers in order on ubuntu.
But after restarting apache server,when i tried to upload some files in www, i cant upload because of permission issues.
when i tried to change the permission of folder by typing on terminal :
chown -R <user> /var/www
and
chmod -R 755 /var/www
it said : Operation not permitted
what can i do about this?thanks.
You need to sudo those commands, e.g.
sudo chmod -R 755 directory
Also, make sure /var/www is owned by www-data user/group.
