[deepblue_tiano]

Yes, I already try this sudo chown -R "the user" "location of my folder" but nothing happens

And also when i try to extract my project in /var/www/ i cant see my folder in localhost.. and when i try localhost/myprojectname again i dont have permission to view the page..

Try the following command replacing the path/folder with your path/folder:

sudo chmod -R www-data:www-data /var/www/website

My apologies. The code is actually supposed to be:

chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/folder


What this code does is change the ownership information on that folder to the apache user.

Just change the command to point to your correct folder. The path that I used is just an example.
