Problem with uploading files to LAMP server

  • 772

I have installed LAMP server using such command:

sudo apt-get install apache2 apache2-mod-php5 php5 mysql-server phpmyadmin

I opened localhost and it said 'It Works!'.

I also opened localhost/phpmyadmin and it says 404...

Anyway its not the biggest problem. The biggest one is that I cant even upload files to it. I go to System Files -> var -> www. I see here index.html. I can only read it (readonly) and can't save it to apply changes. I cant even add any files to www folder!

When I try to (open Text Editor, write some script and save it in www folder) it gives me an error (something that I cant save files in this directory).

Please help me solving this problem. Im trying to for few days I have reinstalled whole Ubuntu few times, and still nothing.. Greetings

  1. hmm.. for localhost/phpmyadmin, try created a symbolic link named phpmyadmin in /var/www 

    sudo ln -s /usr/share/phpmyadmin /var/www/phpmyadmin

    when your phpmyadmin folder is located in /usr/share/ that work in most problem with 404 page, but if that not working try this thread

    then for your problem about folder var/www .. are you doing that as root or user? because /var folder can only access with root permission..

    sudo -i

    can switch you to root,when change like this.. 

    root@comp:/home/user#

    then you can edit with text editor like gedit or geany

    geany var/www/info.php

    with this you can edit and save, if you want to add file to var/www try this (from a root shell)

    nautilus

    if you want know more or want edit all folder and file without root try this thread

    i hope that help
