Thread: uploaded files to /var/www cannot be viewed by a browser
i trying upload html files /var/www in ubuntu server 9.04 "permission denied" when try view them.
why permissions set low?
strict permissions pretty basis of security in unix/linux systems. reason why don't have kind of virus problem windows has, , why majority of web servers , supercomputers run linux or unix variant.
normal user's have no business outside home directory, system-level stuff belongs administrators.
should read this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/rootsudo
..and solve actual problem, run "gksudo nautilus" open file manager root, or use command line move files /var/www.
in case it's development/testing server , not in actual production use, i'd recommend creating web site it's root located inside home directory. allow use server development purposes without having worry permissions.
