System OS: CentOS7.0-64 LAMP for VSI



Problem:
I am attempting to change the ownership of two virtual directories from 'root' to 'apache', so that Apache can read and write data. I am using the following commands but to no avail.



 chown -R apache:apache /var/www/html/www.example-virtualhost1.com
chown -R apache:apache /var/www/html/www.example-virtualhost2.com


When entering these commands I am receiving an error 'command not found.' Any reference material would be greatly appreciated.



Best.

          In order to change the ownership, try the following line:



          sudo chown -R apache /var/www/html/


          or



          sudo chown apache /var/www/html/www.example-virtualhost1.com


          The structure is as follows please note the parentheses as an attempt to explain each piece of the command:



          sudo(run the command as root) chown(command to change ownership) -R(recursively change everything within the folder) apache(who you want to be the new owner) /var/www/html/(the folder you would like to modify ownership)



          Once you have ran this command, you should be able to type in the following command:



          ls -lr 


          That command will show you who has ownership.



          I hope this helps!
