Question

I want to give read and right access to www-data user..

When I Right click the folder /var/www/ I selected the option Read and Write Files, but after clicking apply, it becomes - (dash) again..

I am creating new directory using php exec command. But because of this problem, the new folder is not being listed using the ls command.

What is the problem?

Answer 1

Apparently, it was because I was using exec instead of shell_exec. For the past two days I have been scratching my head, always the solution is a simple one.
