I do not know what happens...but in my laptop, all folders and files have user www-data instead of root.
in directory /desktop /music ....alll directories ..
how can I change user root?
I use command
chown -R www-data:root /
chown -R root:www-data /
any ideas??
I tried a lot but I am not able to change the user for files and directories.
even I tried lots of commands but I do not know how can I change user as root
write in command prompt :
sudo gedit /etc/apache2/envvars
change :
export APACHE_RUN_USER=www-data
export APACHE_RUN_GROUP=www-data
to :
#export APACHE_RUN_USER=www-data
export APACHE_RUN_USER=root
#export APACHE_RUN_GROUP=www-data
export APACHE_RUN_GROUP=root
hope so it will work for you

I'm trying to save a file called app.js on a folder called js.
Vs Code pop up this:
Failed to save 'app.js': Unable to write file 'vscode-remote://wsl+ubuntu-18.04/js/app.js'
(NoPermissions (FileSystemError): Error: EACCES: permission denied, mkdir '/js')
I tried:
sudo chown -R user /mnt/c/Users/myUser/Documents/myFolder/proyectFolder
but I still can't save this file.
Try this, fixed it for me
sudo chown -R username path
Example:
sudo chown -R emanuel /home/emanuel/test/
In the SSH terminal:
Recommended :
sudo chmod -R 777 folder_name_where_your_file_exists
or
sudo chmod -R 755 folder_name_where_your_file_exists
this works for me
sudo chown -R $USER:$USER /home/
TLDR;
If you're using a docker container, avoid making files from within the container because the owner and group permissions may cause problems with your editor (in my case VS Code)
I was running docker container for a Django project from Windows Terminal and using VS Code to edit my code.
It is a Linux file (since everything in Linux is a file) permission problem that arises because the files don't have proper user and/or group permissions. So VS Code tries to tell us that.
The problem I found only happened when I created files from within my docker container.
I would run docker exec ... bash
make new files using touch /path/to/file from the container bash
then try to edit those files on VS Code (say urls.py) only to get the scary permissions error preventing the file from saving.
I suspect that making files from within the container embellishes those files with different owner and group settings than your system would default to if you just ran the commands locally (not in the container).
Changing the file permissions with chown -hR and chgrp -hR would do the trick but to avoid the error altogether I stopped making files from within the container.
Try activating polling:
This worked for me during I tried using wsl.
The below is for individual file:
sudo chown yourUserNAme filename
For an entire directory it will be (when you write ls to terminal, you should see your directory to execute this command):
sudo chown yourUserNAme dirName
For recursive (i.e files and folders inside a folder):
sudo chown -R yourUserNAme dirName
Note: yourUserNAme is, if you do pwd under any Documents, you will see the path: /home/jhon/Documents. Here user is jhon.
Run VS Code as administrator and it will fix the problem.

It is a Linux user permissions problem.
you should use the command:
sudo chown -R $USER:$USER.
I use this guide. When I take the step "Add a source code file", I am shown this report:
Unable to write file 'vscode-remote://wsl+ubuntu-20.04/home/alex/TEST/helloworld/helloworld' (NoPermissions (FileSystemError): Error: EACCES: permission denied, open '/home/alex/TEST/helloworld/helloworld')
I don't know what to do, can some one help me?
The VScode needs permissions thus
Try this command on your WSL terminal
sudo chown -R username /path/to/working/directory
Replace :
'username' with your username and the path of your directory
So I had the same problem and changing ownership via sudo chown -R username <path> did not work for me.
Simple solution!
My issue: Downloaded files for coursera project in zip. Copied files to ubuntu home/taylor/projects folder. and then tried accessing in vscode with code . I received the read error.
Solution:
go to your linux terminal.
Access the folder containing the files you are trying to work on.
For Example: app.py forms.py models.py in the projects folder. got to projects folder.
~/projects ls
app.py forms.py moodels.py routes.py
#they should be white meaning know permissions granted.
grant permissions
a. sudo chmod 777 app.py forms.py models.py routes.py
or
b. sudo chmod +rwx app.py forms.py models.py routes.py #r=read w=write x=execute
Try the above one by #uday Pratap, If not Working try this one's :
sudo chmod -R 777 folder_name_where_your_file_exists
or
sudo chmod -R 755 folder_name_where_your_file_exists
I have a simple script that is unzipping a file to a mounted Windows share. It is normally launched as a Postfix alias when a new email arrives, but even when I run it as root I get a permission denied error.
The script is doing this:
if ( </tmp/*.zip> ){
unzip '</tmp/*.zip>' => '</mnt/win/#1.txt>'
or die "unzip failed: $UnzipError\n";
}
As root I can copy files to /mnt/win without a problem, but when this script is launched by Postfix it fails with permission denied.
/etc/fstab looks like:
//srvr1/tmp /mnt/win cifs credentials=/root/.smbcredentials,iocharset=iso8859-1,sec=ntlm 0 0
ls -ld looks like:
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 196608 Jul 15 17:24 /mnt/win
Files produced by the script are nobody/nogroup, but I'm not sure how I change the permissions of /mnt/win to allow nobody/nogroup to read/write.
cmhod -R ugo+RW /mnt/win
Also gives permission denied. Is there a way to change permissions in /etc/fstab to allow nobody/nogroup?
You need to use this command to change the permissions of folder & files inside it.
sudo chmod -R R+X /mnt/win
If you want to change the user of the file as well which is nobody/nogroup rightnow, you can use this commands :
sudo chown -R username.username /mnt/win/
Here you can choose any user's name e.g. mine is mukesh
sudo chown -R mueksh.mukesh /mnt/win/
My script is creating a gt.txt file with abc user and writing some content into it. I have another script which is appending the content to the same file gt.txt but since it is being run as a different user, it is throwing an error.
What shall I do? Any possible solutions? Both are shell scripts but are run as different users.
I assume the error you are getting is 'permission denied'.
One option is to create a group, which both users can belong to, and assign group permissions to the file which allow group members to write to the file. Like this:
groupadd gtgroup
usermod -a -G gtgroup abcuser
usermod -a -G gtgroup defuser
chgrp gtgroup gt.txt
chmod g+rw gt.txt
You will need to issue most of those commands as root or via sudo. Also, groupadd and usermod commands may vary from one unix-like system to another.
If the file is being created from within the perl script, then you might have to perform the chgrp and chmod within the perl script. Use Perl chown and chmod for that.
I'm trying to setup subversion, so everytime someone commits a change, it updates a working directory that we'll use on a dev box as the 'test' site.
I've setup post-commit, and added the line:
#!/usr/bin/perl /usr/bin/svn update /home/administrator/sites/checkmyid --username root --password xxx
Can anyone tell me why this doesn't work when run automatically, but when I run it at the command prompt:
sudo ./post-commit
/home/administrator/sites/svn
It works fine?
I've tried chaning the owner of the working directory to www-data but it doesn't seem to want to work?
FIXED IT MYSELF
Basically, it was a permissions problem. I used the command
sudo chown -R www-data /home/administrator/sites/checkmyid
And now it works perfectly!
Your post-commit script contains bash code, but the shebang is saying to use Perl to run it.
Plus, shebang lines should be on their own line; put the actual commands to run on another line.
sudo chown -R www-data /home/administrator/sites/checkmyid
