I've read several threads here talking about this issue and tried all the solutions provided, none of them are working.

Whenever I try composer install I get a bunch of errors saying cannot install

[RuntimeException]                                                 
  /var/www/html/app/vendor does not exist and could not be created.

This is what I've tried so far:

sudo chmod -R g+rwX /var/www/html
sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www
sudo chmod -R g+rwX /var/www
sudo chgrp www-data /var/www/html
sudo chmod 775 /var/www/html
sudo chmod g+s /var/www/html
sudo useradd -G www-data george
useradd: user 'george' already exists
sudo chown george /var/www/html/
sudo chown george /var/www/html/app/
sudo chmod g+s /var/www/html/app
sudo chmod 775 /var/www/html/app

  • @AhmedJerbi I'm on a VM. I think it worked after I reinstalled the ca-certificates – Halnex Jun 03 '16 at 18:28
  • @Halnex Reboot after adding a user to a group for the change to take effect – Underverse Apr 09 '19 at 14:04

Just run the following command: sudo chown -R $(whoami) /var/www/html

You can change ownership of the html directory like this:

sudo chown pi /var/www/html

Then set permissions to

chmod 776 -R /var/www/html

Which will allow read, write and execute permissions for User and Group and giving read and write permission to Other (www-data,apache, etc ...).

    you have a typo, www.html ? – Shoyeb Sheikh Apr 09 '19 at 07:03
  • More information on what permissions should be set for /var/www in this post (https://askubuntu.com/a/493401/819809). – jackw11111 Apr 09 '19 at 09:59

    You should never change permissions or ownership of /var/www/html (or any other system directory). Instead add your user(s) to the correct groups, or use sudo when you need to access those directories. By keeping the access rights as restricted as possible you will the best security on your system. – Soren A Apr 09 '19 at 13:11
