can't change files on my own webserver


Hello,

I've changed a part of my computer to a webserver.
However, when I try to place files on the server part (/var/www/html/)
I get the message I haven't got the permission to do so.
I use mandrake 10.0, I use webmin and its an apache server.
I can't change the chmod because the hitboxes arent clickable.

Please help.


Kind regards

when the boxes aren't clickable, it usually means you aren't logged in as the owner.

With mandrake 10, it is exceptionally difficult to start a graphical session as root, so you will have to do this from terminal. But as doing mundane tasks without drag and drop is about as fun as a root canal, you might want to just change the ownership of the webserver folder with chown (whoever) (whatever)

Hey,
Normaly I am logged in as the owner for I am the only user on this system.
And how do I change the chown ?


Greetings
