Magento – Magento 2 Permissions Problem

magento2permissionsshell

Can someone please advise me on the following problem

Here is a link to a video showing what is happening https://vimeo.com/228143296

I strongly believe this is a permissions problem

In video clip one I do the following steps

  1. In terminal I type in command – php bin/magento setup:upgrade
    This brings up a warning message in red

(Permission denied in
/var/www/html/top-property-store/vendor/colinmollenhour/cache-backend-file/File.php
on line 663)

  1. I refresh the page the site is still working

  2. I put in command sudo php bin/magento setup:upgrade

  3. I refresh the site and the site is down with a warning message

In video clip two I do the following

  1. I put in command sudo php bin/magento setup:upgrade

2 I put in command sudo php bin/magento setup:di:compile

  1. Go to the site then click on a link and the site is down again with the same warning

Warning:
file_put_contents(/var/www/html/top-property-store/var/cache//mage-tags/mage—cc6_COMPILED_CONFIG):
failed to open stream: Permission denied in
/var/www/html/top-property-store/vendor/colinmollenhour/cache-backend-file/File.php
on line 663

Best Answer

I wouldn't recommend using 777 permissions as this allows global write permissions. In a shared hosting environment i prefer to use :

chown -R webserveruser:webservergroup ./ PATH

If you must use chmod check the official documentation and what it recommends 

chmod -R u+w .
