This might be a noob question, but can't find an answer anywhere. I have a problem, which Another file permissions problem have helped me to ALMOST solve. I have created a user in linux ( danny ) which has sudo access. I have also created a new group which name ALSO is danny , and added the user danny to that group. This group has sudo (root) access. I have all files and folders in my www folder owned by danny/danny group. I have an image-upload code which is php . This code cannot upload images to a folder called " images " folder which is under the www folder, UNLESS I give the images folder 777 permissions. So, I have followed the answer on the linked question, and have figured out that the user which the upload-script is run as is " www-data ". According to the answer on the link to the other question I posted, I need to add www-data to a group... But I am stuck here... Which group should I add to? What should I do from here? Any tips are appreciated. Btw, here is some info about www-data and danny id www-data: uid=33(www-data) gid=33(www-data) groups=33(www-data) id danny uid=1000(danny) gid=33(www-data) groups=33(www-data) Thanks and if you need more input, just let me know...
