I am trying to set the permission
I have one folder as following:
david@raspberrypi /var $sudo chmod 770 www
ls -l
david@raspberrypi /var $drwxrwx--- 2 www-data www-data 4096 Aug 14 11:19 www
david@raspberrypi /var $ cd www
-bash: cd: www: Permission denied
david@raspberrypi /var $ groups david
david : david www-data
david@raspberrypi /var $ cat /etc/group |grep 'david'
www-data:x:33:david
david:x:1002:
Also , i have create new account called Pen, it can access the folder successful....
david@raspberrypi /var $ sudo useradd -m -g www-data -s /bin/bash Pen
david@raspberrypi /var $ su Pen
Pen@raspberrypi /var $ cd www
I would like to know why i cannot access the folder?
Any Idea for here?
Had you just created the group? You may need to log out and in again. The kernel has a list of your login shell's groups, which may be missing www-data if you created it during the current session.
