在Ubuntu 14.04 x64 DigitalOcean上安装带主题的特定Wordpress安装

Question

Our company's partners sent us custom Wordpress installation for website.

Installation contains 2 files:

1. installer.php

2. installation.zip (example)

I followed this guide to install Apache, MySQL, PHP (LAMP) stack on Ubuntu 14.04 . Worked perfectly.

Then followed this guide to install Wordpress, but instead of downloading install from Wordpress website I used my custom installation.

Now those both files remain in /var/www/html

Then I accessed: http://my_server_ip/installer.php

And got this Error:

What I tried is:

1. Restarted Apache with sudo service apache2 restart

2. Set both file permisions to 777, now I got -rwxrwxrwx 1 root edgars 424438 Jan 20 07:52 installer.php

3. Changed file owner to edgars now it looks like this:

     -rwxrwxrwx 1 edgars 30208410 Jan 20 07:58 201412166115237_archive.zip -rwxrwxrwx 1 edgars 424438 Jan 20 07:52 installer.php 

Restarted again Apache, but still can't pass that test..

Any help would be great.

Thanks.

Answer 1

This tells you that PHP can't write into /var/www/html, so you have to change permissions in that directory. It looks like you're only changing the file permissions and not the directory.

Also, don't use 777, 755 should be enough. Or better yet, just set the directory ownership to whatever apache's username is (usually www-data).

Commands:

# change permissions of directory
chmod -R 755 /var/www/html 
# change ownership of directory
chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/html

www-data may or may not be the user apache's using for its processes; you can check for the actual username using:

ps aux | egrep '(apache|httpd)'

Answer 2

You can try

sudo chown root:www-data -R /var/www/html

It gives permissions to group root & user www-data.

Hope it helps.
