  • Permissions problems with /var/www/html and my own home directory for a website document root

    3 answers




My /var/www is this (permissions 755)



drwxr-x---  3 www-data www-data 4096 gen 11 16:27 www


My /var/www/html is this (permissions 755)



drwxr-xr-x  2 www-data www-data 4096 gen 11 16:27 html



NOTE: if it's important, I installed php 7.2 and nginx on a Ubuntu 16.04.5; that for say that I manually created /var/www and /var/www/html because not created from nginx's installation




My user is named mirko



And using command group mirko I can see I am member of www-data



mirko : www-data adm cdrom sudo dip plugdev lxd lpadmin sambashare


But I cannot write files in /var/www/html. Of course, it because of 755 permissions.



question: the 755 is the suggested permission for /var/www/html in a lot of tutorials; but in this way, how is supposed I manage file into this folder?



My user must be able to run a composer create-project for example, and also git pull and so on.



What's the right settings for shell user and folder?




I know I can simply add +w recusively. My question was: if suggested permissions for html folder is 755 (or even 750) and suggested ownership is www-data:www-data... how can a shell user access html subofolders?




Thanks in advance

  • Are you sure that you are a member of www-data? I can't see www-data in your output. try logging out and relogin after adding your self to www-data: sudo gpasswd -a mirko www-data

  • You can use 775 for folders and 664 for files. chmod -R g+w /var/www/html .

    And then you can give g+w for files that www-data needs write access. You can write the answer best by yourself I guess ;-)

Ownership should be you:www-data



Permissions for folders 750, for files 640



This can be done by one command: chmod -R u=rwX,g=rX,o= /pathtofolder



If scripts used to create some files add group writable permission to needed folders(like smarty template cache)

  • There is a problem: when I create new files, the setgid bit is ignored, so new files are owned by "mirko:mirko" instead of "mirko:www-data". Why?
