How to give www-data permission to execute commands as root on UBUNTU?

Question

PHP

On Debian in /etc/sudoers I entered: www-data ALL=(root) NOPASSWD: ALL And the commands from sudo were executed.
I entered the same thing on UBUNTU and nothing works, what did I do wrong?

Answer 1

SWITCHED TO DEBIAN, EVERYTHING WORKED!

Answer 2

Should be the same. it's the same Debian. try calling a new console and there already try as this user.. but it's bad practice.. to give root rights from this user.
try again like this.
www-data ALL=(ALL:ALL) ALL

Answer 3

Is it worth mentioning that this is not necessary? :)
