(Errors are fixed ^^)
It’s not stupid if [the last part] works, right? Right?
1. We need a new group: website
2. We need a user: frank
3. Simple website where everything is put into /var/www/html/
sudo addgroup website sudo adduser frank website sudo adduser frank www-data
Let’s see if Frank belongs to the right groups:
groups frank
The result should look something like
frank : frank cdrom floppy sudo audio dip website www-data video plugdev netdev
Let’s change some ownerships, directory first.
sudo chown -vR :website /var/www/html/
Now set the permissions right.
sudo chmod -vR g+w /var/www/html/
You should do a test now by doing the following:
cd /var/www/html/ echo "My server bring all the boys to the yard" > index.html
If you get an error, enter the following:
newgrp - website
This is, in my experience not permanent though, so if you keep having issues, just yeet it into the bash.bashrc file, at the bottom:
sudo nano /etc/bash.bashrc
add at the bottom:
if [[ -n $SSH_CONNECTION ]] ; then newgrp - www-data fi
