Ubuntu git allowed permission to use
I think I have a problem with my rights.
I have almost new Ubuntu 14.04 installed and just configured my vhost to display my little html project. The new site has no problem working properly in Firefox.
But now I want to initialize a new git repository and failed.
When I type inside / var / www / html
git init
I am getting this error
/var/www/html/.git: permission denied
My / var / www has the following permissions:
drwxrwxr-x 13 www-data www-data 4096 Jan 4 18:48 html/
When i type
ssh-add -l
my id_rsa (RSA) is displayed correctly.
I don't know what else I am missing.: - (
source to share
Folder /var/www
permissions only allow user www-data
and group members to write files www-data
. You can add yourself to the group www-data
with the following command
usermod -a -G www-data your_username
If you are logged in via SSH, you need to log out and then re-enable.
This should allow you to write files to that folder without giving everyone write permission. This is not a good idea on a production server.
