Setting the right permissions
Posted: 11. February 2020 03:16
Gents, I have a real big problem getting Xampp to work after a crash. I work on Ubuntu 18.04. I used this tutorial to install Xampp:

Problem are the user rights and privileges. If you follow this tutorial, it won't work. So I used this tutorial to get the permissions right:

I set my user (!'m the only one using this pc) to chmod -R 777 /opt/lampp/htdocs. 755 is better, but doesn't work for me.
Privileges on a joomla folder are:
Owner: Me (create and delete)
Group: jos (create and delete)
Others: (access files)
I'm still not there. When in stalling Joomla I have to manually remove the installation folder. Before I get that far, I have to set the FTP configuration in Joomla, which I never had to do before the crash. I have to manually create a configuration.php file as well.
Everything works, it's the privileges that cause the hick-ups. Who can help get these privileges in order?
