I am try to make a file readable and writable by apache web server. I have use the following command:

sudo chgrp apache /var/www/html/itdb/data/itdb.db

When I try to run the php application I get the message:

var/www/html/itdb is not writeable by apache
make /var/www/html/itdb/data/files/ writeable by the user running the web server
in unix:

chown www-data /var/www/html/itdb/data/files/; chmod u+w /var/www/html/itdb/data/files/

in your attempt:

sudo chgrp apache /var/www/html/itdb/data/itdb.db

you're setting group "apache" as owner of this resource 

/var/www/html/itdb/data/itdb.db

and script is complaining:

var/www/html/itdb is not writeable by apache

and even giving you solution:

chown www-data /var/www/html/itdb/data/files/; chmod u+w /var/www/html/itdb/data/files/

(probably you might want to run those with sudo to ensure success)

Good luck

  • What you say i true for Ubuntu. As the OP did not get an error when using the apache group they may not be using Ubuntu. – Panther Apr 02 '15 at 15:14

  • you need to set permissions for the directories a well. See http://askubuntu.com/questions/46331/how-to-avoid-using-sudo-when-working-in-var-www – Panther Apr 02 '15 at 15:32
