I have setup a Ubuntu server (18.04) with PHPBB (along with apache2 and mysql etc). Everything was up and running fine until I needed to go in an add a few files to one of the directories on the server to be able to enable an extension. When I tried to do so I didn't have access to place files into the /var/www directory. Did some research and found the suggestion to run the following 2 commands (which I did):
sudo chmod -R 757 /var/www
sudo chown -R myid:myid /var/www
Since I have done this I get some warnings/errors with I go into PHPBB and the system is not allowing me to make certain changes to the forum setups within PHPBB. I am assuming it has to do with the 2 commands I issued. Did these commands mess up the PHPBB software ability to write changes or something? Have I messed myself up badly? Any suggestions? Thank you in advance.
