Ubuntu - Apache2 | What rights should be on the site folder?

Question

Apache HTTP Server

Good afternoon! Tell me, what rights should the site folder have? For example /mysite/www.
I do like this:

chmod -R 755 /mysite/www
chown -R www-data:www-data /mysite/www

is that enough? Do I need to assign owner and rights recursively? Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

Usually put the site in / var / www
Folders should have permissions 775 for user www-data and group www-data.

chmod -R 755 /mysite/www

Recursively set the same permissions for folders and files, which is undesirable.
I would set separate permissions for folders and files:

sudo find /mysite/www -type d -exec chmod -R 775 {} \;
sudo find /mysite/www -type f -exec chmod -R 664 {} \;
