Message: mkdir(): Permission denied AWS ec2

Question

I am getting the following error in my code.

Message: mkdir(): Permission denied

I have tried other solutions which i found in stackoverflow and following commands:

$ ls -ald /var/www                              
drwxrwsr-x 7 root root 4096 Apr 23 13:58 /var/www
$ ls -ald /var/www/html
drwxrwsr-x 4 root root 4096 Apr 26 10:02 /var/www/html
$

I referred below document of AWS AWS User Guide

Update:- I can create it from command line. Problem is when i execute my php code i am getting this error.

Answer 1

Which user are you logged in as (find out with whoami). The user and group of these directories are root and there is no write permission for "other".

Possible solutions:

• Use sudo in front of the command to execute mkdir as root
• Change owner / group to allow your user / group write permission using chown / chgrp
