I started this post back in August 2016 when I set my old Mac mini up as a media server and webserver for testing purposes. I never finished it or got back to it, which is a bit of a bummer since it is all just so much gobbledygook to me now. Still, it documents the process I used this time to set up Apache, php and ftp. And, since one of the first purposes of this site was to store and have available various computer processes I had engaged in I guess I will post it for posterity despite its incompleteness.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

$ cd \/<wherever>\/Sites\/<thesite>\n$ sudo chown -R _www wordpress\n\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
Here’s a simple option that gives you full (read+write) access, lets the webserver read the files, and locks everyone else out of the web folder<\/p>\n
$ sudo chown -R “username”:_www \/www\/home\/wp-content<\/span><\/p>\n
$ chmod -R u=rwX,g=rX,o= \/www\/home\/wp-content<\/span><\/p>\n
