www-data-permissions.md

Add your user to www-data group.

sudo adduser USERNAME www-data

Then, change recursively the ownership of /var/www to your username.

sudo chown USERNAME:www-data -R /var/www

At last, change permissions to 755 and add g+s to directories to ensure all new files created have the same group as the directory's.

sudo chmod 0755 -R /var/www
sudo chmod g+s -R /var/www
