Vagrant vm + apache permission denied for mkdir()


in this case, if you're using Vagrant + Apache2.

the solution is:

  1. edit /etc/apache2/apache2.conf;
  2. Search for User and Group directives
  3. Change these lines to:

    User vagrantGroup vagrant
  4. run sudo service apache2 restart

its not possible to change /vagrant directory owner to www-data (apache user);

Anyway, it works for me.


Edit Vagrantfile

  config.vm.synced_folder "./", "/var/www", owner: "www-data", group: "www-data"


You need to set the owner on the folder that php is trying to write to, to the apache user which is normally www-data... ssh into the vagrant box and try:

sudo chown www-data:www-data <dirname>

That should work... if it does then just add that to what ever provisioner you are using.
