[SOLVED] how to get write access

geomcd1949 · 10-04-2011, 07:00 PM

Installed a LAMP server on Ubuntu 11.04. Works perfectly. Am using Quanta Plus to create and edit .php files.

When I try to save a .php file from Quanta Plus to the folder /var/www/, a popup tells me to "Check that you have write access to this file or that enough disk space is available."

There is plenty of disk space available. So I need to know how to get write access.

Thanks for any assistance.

sudo chmod +w
should do it i think. this may not be advisable though, i can't say though as im still learning about directorys and many other things lol
