sudo chown -R root:myusername /var/lib/php/session (what should I put in username)?
The chown
command has the following syntax:
chown username:groupname directory
So in your example command it is your primary group name you need to put To determine your current user name issue the command as below on a terminal
whoami
This will return your current user name. Then issue this command to determine your group memberships
groups username
Assuming that your username is "alex", run:
groups alex
You will get something like:
alex : alex staff adm cdrom lpadmin admin
The first one after the :
is your primary group. In this example it is "alex".
The command will be:
sudo chown -R root:alex /var/lib/php/session
That would be:
sudo chown -R root:alex /var/lib/php/session
