Without comprimizeing the security I want a user to have write access to the content folder for apache. However I cannot achive this, and need assistance. I want my user account to have write permisions to /var/www/html
I decided to create a webaster group, make the user a member of the new group then change ownership of /var/www/html:
However I am unable to write to that folder.Code:/usr/sbin/groupadd webmaster gedit /etc/group # webmaster:x:502:root,atapi103 chown -R :webmaster html chmod -R 775 html
atapi103 should have write access to html correct? How can I alow atapi103 to have write access, without comprimizeing the security as to allow other unauthorized users access?atapi103 [/var/www]$ ls -l
total 20

Cannot create the file "/var/www/html/index.htm".
Make sure you have the appropriate write permissions.
