| Space-Duck | I have a ln -s in /var/www that points to /home/user/www I running a PHP script that attempts to make directories and create files within /home/user/www/blah/ The script is unable to create the files due to file permissions. How can I correct this? Do I need to add "user" to the "www-data" group or something? | 09:59 |
| tsimpson | Space-Duck: you need to give www-data permission under /home/user/www, like making /home/user/www user:www-data rwxrwxr-x | 10:56 |
| Space-Duck | tsimpson how do you do that? | 11:00 |
| tsimpson | like "sudo chown $USER:www-data ~/www" followed by "sudo chmod g=rwx ~/www" | 11:02 |
| kanliot | anyone need help? | 13:44 |
| Sidewinder | !details | kanliot | 13:44 |
| ubot2 | kanliot: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." | 13:44 |
| smartboyhw | Sidewinder, I think he means that is there anybody who needed help, which = no now | 13:45 |
| kanliot | i could use some reading material about LXDE and file associations. i've googled it, but all i got was bad stuff | 13:49 |
| cobramd | can anyone help with a wireless issue? | 14:38 |
| kanliot | cobramd, can i point to to the forum, post on beginners or on the networking forum | 14:42 |
| cobramd | ok | 14:45 |
| cobramd | isn't this the beginners forum? | 14:50 |
| smartboyhw | cobramd, this is the beginners IRC channel LOL | 14:50 |
| kanliot | ubuntuforums.org | 14:55 |
| kanliot | only becasue I KNOW there's people on there who can help you with wireless probs | 14:55 |
| holstein | cobramd: you could share more information about wireless.. usually i just link the broadcom wiki page ;) | 15:08 |
| holstein | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx | 15:08 |
| cobramd | this issue is confusing me. when i didn't install the driver, the wireless option was in the drop down. I installed the driver and then it dissappeared on me | 15:10 |
| escott | cobramd, "the drop down" what is "the drop down" | 15:13 |
| kanliot | additional drivers? | 15:14 |
| holstein | cobramd: you can run lspci in a terminal and paste that... | 15:15 |
| holstein | !paste | 15:15 |
| ubot2 | For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://imagebin.org/?page=add | !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic. | 15:15 |
| cobramd | upper corner where it shows the network connection. If I click on it, it drops down and gives me options. Wireless was there at one point, now just wired connection, edit connection, etc... | 15:15 |
| holstein | cobramd: maybe you disabled it via the keyboard or hardware switch | 15:15 |
| cobramd | http://paste.ubuntu.com/1264008/ | 15:19 |
| cobramd | guess I did that right. Haven't used IRC in a while | 15:19 |
| cobramd | checked the keyboard switch, doesn't seem to have any effect. | 15:20 |
| holstein | 03:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4311 802.11b/g WLAN (rev 01) | 15:20 |
| holstein | cobramd: that link i linked above is what i would reference | 15:21 |
| holstein | sudo apt-get install b43-fwcutter firmware-b43-installer | 15:22 |
| holstein | ^^ that usually works for me... sometimes with a reboot | 15:22 |
| cobramd | i'll try it. thanks for the help on this. pretty new to ubuntu | 15:22 |
| cobramd | looks like it installed. I'll try the reboot to see if it worked. Thanks again | 15:23 |
