I know that there are a lot of similar questions, but just hear me out and if this was a silly question and there was nothing new about it, i'll just delete this question.
I'm trying to upload using php, but I get permission denied. So here's what I did to solve it and didn't work:
first of all, this is localhost, so i can't set the owner of the files to apache, because I won't be able to edit them. So I got the apache user name in php, and it was www-data
I created a new group called 'localhostowners'
I added my own user to this group
I added www-data to the group
when I run
grep -i 'localhostowners' /etc/group
I get
localhostowners:x:1001:mnvoh,www-data
And then I set the file permissions for everything on the localhost dir to 764 and set the owner with this:
sudo chown -R mnvoh:localhostowners localhostdir
But now I can't execute the php scripts hence the 4. although according to what I know, the 6 should be affecting apache, since I set the group on the files. What am I doing wrong here???
Thanks everybody :)
