How do I give a user access to /var/www/html?
I'm new to Linux admin'ing. I created a user named webadmin and I want to give it permission to read/write in the /var/www/html directory.
How do I go about doing this?
Personally, I would set the ownership of /var/www/html to apache. You can do this by:
chown apache /var/www/html
Next, I would create a group of let's say "Web admins":
groupadd webadmins
Add the user webadmin to the newly created group:
usermod -G webadmins webadmin
Add group permissions to the newly created group:
chmod g+rw /var/www/html
