How to stop fighting with folder owner in ubuntu?

Question

ubuntu

I work with wordpress, here I am writing in the terminal

sudo chown -R www-data /var/www/wordpress

Then I can download themes, install something from WordPress itself, and so on, but I can’t edit the code of the files.
for this I write

sudo chown -R igor /var/www/wordpress

Yes, now I can edit files, but I can not download and install plugins and themes using WordPress.
Is there an optimal solution?

Answer 1

There is an option to run the web server on my own behalf, I also do this, since you can often see 700 file permissions.
In the file /etc/apache2/envvars
Substitute yourself in APACHE_RUN_USER and APACHE_RUN_GROUP
But at the same time you need to understand what kind of code you are running, because you yourself understand.
And so add yourself to the group, and in the source code change the rights when creating files / folders from 700 to 770.

Answer 2

Add user to www-data group

Answer 3

777? ))

Answer 4

sudo chmod -R 775 /var/www/wordpress

Answer 5

Run Apache or whatever you have as a web server from under the same igor, give all files permissions 755 user igor group www-data and that's it. Or after each edit, do crown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/wordpress, wagon options.
