Whats the simplest way to add files to “/var/www”?
Ok, I am trying to set up LAMP. Do a test run to make sure everything is working. I have no idea what permissions, Apache, PHP, SQL. Clueless. I am following these instructions: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP
Now, when I get down to testing PHP. It tells me to create that simple file and store it into the www directory. I can't. I opened a notepad editor, wrote the file, went to save it as the directory and it tells me I do not have permission to save the file. I don't know who has permissions? Me? My Apache user? I don't have a clue. The tutorial just assumes one knows how to set permissions. How do I do this?
I apologize if this question has been asked before, but I couldn't find it. This is the closest I've came to an answer:

I just need a "Just type this into terminal - " Type of answer. I don't care about permissions, it is a closed machine and just used for testing...
