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! Quote Link to comment 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). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lamez Posted October 19, 2008 Author Share Posted October 19, 2008 ok it is saying I do not have permission to access my root folder. When I use localhost. Is there a way to fix this? http://66.209.244.38/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trq Posted October 19, 2008 Share Posted October 19, 2008 Take a look at your DirectoryIndex directive. Is it set? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lamez Posted October 19, 2008 Author Share Posted October 19, 2008 would that be in /etc/apache2/httpd.conf or etc/apache2/apache2.conf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trq Posted October 19, 2008 Share Posted October 19, 2008 /etc/apache2/apache2.conf What is the output of.... grep DirectoryIndex /etc/apache2/apache2.conf Quote Link to comment 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lamez Posted October 19, 2008 Author Share Posted October 19, 2008 I do not understand what is going on, now the server has turned off. How can I make sure it is always on, on boot up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corbin Posted October 19, 2008 Share Posted October 19, 2008 Quick google came up with this: http://www.livingubuntu.com/?p=70 Will that work? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lamez Posted October 19, 2008 Author Share Posted October 19, 2008 that will work, however being a noob with linux, and lamp. I do not know what activates the Apache server. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
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. You did install via apt-get didn't you? Can I see the output of the following? ls -l /etc/rc2.d Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trq Posted October 19, 2008 Share Posted October 19, 2008 What permissions does the file your trying to view have? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lamez Posted October 19, 2008 Author Share Posted October 19, 2008 wells its a folder, its the WWW folder. Let me look! http://uploads.lamezz.com/per.png Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lamez Posted October 19, 2008 Author Share Posted October 19, 2008 whoa, I changed the permissions, and it works now. I have developed a new problem! my Phpmyadmin is saying I do not have my mysql server config. right. Is the config file kept in etc/mysql/ ?

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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
