After running

$ps aux | grep httpd

the terminal output is

root     26923  0.0  0.0  14428  1044 pts/0    S+   17:43   0:00 grep --color=auto httpd

I'm trying to change the owner of a path on a remote LAMP server.

According to this question; move_uploaded_file gives "failed to open stream: Permission denied" error the next step after running

$ps aux | grep httpd

Is to "Change the owner of images and tmp_file_upload to be become nobody or whatever the owner you found in step 1."

$sudo chown nobody /var/www/html/mysite/images/

$sudo chown nobody /var/www/html/mysite/tmp_file_upload/

What should my terminal input for the chown command be based off of my terminal output when running ps aux | grep httpd?

The author of the answer also stated The first column will be the owner typically it will be nobody. What should be used instead of nobody here, or will nobody work?

  • On Debian based systems (what your path of /var/www indicates) the Apache binary is called `apache2`, not `httpd`. – Gerald Schneider Jul 25 '20 at 04:38
