PHP file_put_content permission denied (Linux)

[Joveice]

Hello,

 

I'm getting permission denied when I try to file_put_content on /etc/nginx/sites-available/test

 

I did set the owner of the files to www-data.

 

What do I have to do?

 

Q: Why do I need to edit the file?

A: Creating a admin dashboard

If you do ls -l, does it show you have rw privileges on it? If not, you need to set such using chmod.

What are folder permissions/owner/group?

Unless security is utmost important here, I usually set the same permissions to everything. Since you only need write, I'd do chmod 666.

 

Otherwise if you're running the process as another user, it won't have write access to the files.

I need to read, write, delete and create.

rw permissions are all you need. That's mode 6 in chmod

So why am I still getting permission denied?

Did you do chmod 666 on the files you listed?

But they had rw?

Will this break something with the web server?

Ended up with 660 but it works never the less so thanks!
