EDIT when executing:chmod -R 777 /var/www/html

The following error returns:

    when executingls -l /var/www

    Sample:

    total 4
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 may 9 00:12 html

    Hence what interests us are:

    • The first column , which tells you what type of file it is and the permissions it has assigned.
    • The third column , which shows you the user and the group they belong to.
    • And the last one, which is the name, since where you want to install Laravel is in the html.

    From that first column , this drwxr-xr-xmeans:

    • The done at the beginning indicates that it is a directory.
    • The following rwxare the permissions that the user who owns the directory has, r= read, w= write, and x= execute.
    • The following r-xare the permissions that the user group to which the directory belongs has.
    • And the last r-xones are the permissions that the rest of the world has.

    The issue there is that this directory belongs to the superuser root, as you can see in the third column of the list root root, where the first rootrefers to the owner user , and the second rootto the group that owns that directory.

    The simplest thing there would be to change the owner user , so that this directory belongs to your user ( shassainfrom what can be seen in the screenshot), with which you will achieve the permissions rwxthat the directory already has assigned to its owner user . You can change the owner of the directory with the command:

    sudo chown shassain /var/www/html

    And when running againls -l /var/www

    You should see something like this:

    total 4
drwxr-xr-x 2 shassain root 4096 may 9 00:12 html

    And you would already be able to write in that directory html, because what the error refers to is that your user shassaindid not have write permission there.
