folder and file permission !

[ionezation]

Hi friends

I am not able to give permission to /var/www/html folder when I right click->properties it says you have no permission because you are not owner. I have put these commands but nothing works for me

use chmod 777 -R /var/www/html/projectDirector y

in nautilis it says "You are not the owner, so you cannot change the permissions"

I have logged in as root by su - then my password
but nothing goes well :S please help I am learning PHP !

What does the screen say when you go to a terminal prompt, and do:

su - 
cd /var/www/html
chmod -R 777 projectDirectory

it says nothing just another prompt ... I have see the permissions options from LL command and I have permission but I cant see the result of my script :S

[Luuk]

that's OK, because the result can be that you changed the persmission of A LOT OF files.......

But when you do not get an error, everything should be OK

to check you could do this (from the html directory):

ls -lR | more

or

ls -lR | less
