I installed ubuntu 14.04 with mysql and the rest of lamp. I created a file called test.php in sublime and when i try to save this file it says unable to safe file in var/www/html

I tried to chown user:user /var/www

but it didnt do anything

I know there are many similir threads to this 1 but id like you to answer it for me so i can understand what i need to do which is not the case with other posts/comments

I had lamp istalled before and i had no problems creating files andsaving them

sudo chmod 775 /var/www should do it, it is a simple permission problem.
