Lamez Posted October 19, 2008 Share Posted October 19, 2008 Ok, so I installed Ubuntu 8, and I installed L.A.M.P., using this tutorial: http://www.howtoforge.com/ubuntu_lamp_for_newbies What my problem is, I wanna edit the files that are the WWW folder, but I get an error message that tells me I do not have the permissions to do that. I am the system admin, so how do I do it? -Thanks Guys! Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/129038-editing-files-in-the-www-folder/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
corbin Posted October 19, 2008 Share Posted October 19, 2008 You might need to be root to access it. If you're feeling lazy just do "sudo chown -R user /var/www/". Other wise, use sudo, or sudo -i if you want to stay root. Or you could just change file perms (without changing owner).

Lamez Posted October 19, 2008 Author Share Posted October 19, 2008 would that be in /etc/apache2/httpd.conf or etc/apache2/apache2.conf Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/129038-editing-files-in-the-www-folder/#findComment-669047 Share on other sites More sharing options...

trq Posted October 19, 2008 Share Posted October 19, 2008 Then its likely not set. Either that or its within your virtual host config. Either way, it'll need be something like... DirectoryIndex index.php This tells apache what file to serve when only a directory is requested.

trq Posted October 19, 2008 Share Posted October 19, 2008 The script to start Apache is /etc/init.d/apache2, it can be called using.... sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart However, Apache should have already been added to /etc/rc2.d (which controls the default runleve by apt-get.

trq Posted October 19, 2008 Share Posted October 19, 2008 I would say its refering to its own configuration. Maybe in /etc/phpmyadmin, I'm not sure, don't really use it.
