    I cannot save nor edit anything in my www folder, could anyone tell me the terminal commands to change the permission to the administrator? thanks

    Belongs in the Unix forum methinks; but check out chown and chmod. Below is an example for pulling up the man document for chown; you can also to the same for chmod and subsequently decide which one suits your needs.

    Alternatively you can google for examples.
    man chown

    Do you mean you can't save/edit as root (the administrator), or you need to know how to edit files owned by root?

    If it's the former, use chown/chmod as mentioned, if it's the latter use sudo.

    After much googling i managed it:D i changed the directory to /var and i used chown to change the ownership of /www to the my account name so i could edit and save files to in the www folder... chmod didnt seem to do anything but perhaps i didnt use it correctly.. lamp works perfect now though:) thank you for your help
