Space-DuckI 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
tsimpsonSpace-Duck: you need to give www-data permission under /home/user/www, like making /home/user/www user:www-data rwxrwxr-x10:56
Space-Ducktsimpson how do you do that?11:00
tsimpsonlike "sudo chown $USER:www-data ~/www" followed by "sudo chmod g=rwx ~/www"11:02

cobramdthis 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 me15:10

cobramdupper 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
holsteincobramd: maybe you disabled it via the keyboard or hardware switch15:15
cobramdhttp://paste.ubuntu.com/1264008/15:19
cobramdguess I did that right.  Haven't used IRC in a while15:19
cobramdchecked the keyboard switch, doesn't seem to have any effect.15:20
