Apply permission for php projects

correct_permissions_php_project.md

Do this once

sudo chown www-data:www-data -R <projectpath>
sudo find <projectpath> -type d -exec chmod 755 {} \;
sudo find <projectpath> -type f -exec chmod 644 {} \;
sudo adduser <username> www-data
sudo chmod -R g+rwX <projectpath>
sudo chgrp -R www-data <projectpath>

Do this for existing projects

sudo chown www-data:www-data -R <projectpath>
sudo find <projectpath> -type d -exec chmod 755 {} \;
sudo find <projectpath> -type f -exec chmod 644 {} \;
sudo chmod -R g+rwX <projectpath>

Even great for future files/folders

sudo find . \( -type f -exec setfacl -m g:www-data:rw '{}' ';' \) -o \( -type d -exec setfacl -m g:www-data:rwx '{}' ';' \)

If the setfacl not found, you need to install it:

sudo apt install acl
