Permission denied while cloning project in htdocs - linux

I am new to linux and I am trying to clone a project into a folder that am currently in contained in opt/lampp/htdocs using the command git clone git#gitlab.com:whatever . but i am getting a permission denied error. What can i do to resolve this issue

update httpd.conf
sudo gedit /opt/lampp/etc/httpd.conf
Find
User nobody
Group nogroup
Replace nobody with your username
Change the ownership of htdocs
sudo chown -R username:username /opt/lampp/htdocs
Change the file permissions of htdocs folder
sudo chmod -R 775 /opt/lampp/htdocs/
Restart your machine
Clear your browser cache

You can also give the folder full permissions like this:
sudo chmod -R 777 /opt/lampp/htdocs/
or sudo chown -R $USER:$USER /opt/lampp/htdocs

I already have my username correctly wrote in user in the httpd.conf file, and still had the same problem. Finally, I found the solution changing the port number:
In the same file look for Local:8888 and change 8888 to 80

try to give full permission to your htdocs folder
sudo chmod 777 opt/lampp/htdocs
Then it will ask for password enter and go ahead. learn More Here :)

Permission denied is exactly what it says. You do not have permission to write to this folder. You can either git clone the repo as a root using sudo git clone (...) or change permissions to this folder. sudo chmod a+w <path> and then git clone it normally. You can also clone the repository to some other folder to which you already have permissions to write to.

authorized_keys ignored for new git user

I want to create an own git server. I started with a root user and here is the following I did:
mkdir /srv/git/project.git
useradd -r -d /srv/git git
passwd git
Now I have a new user git (can log in via su git from my root account).
I want to login via git#mywebsite.com without the use of a password. Right now, it will ask for a password every time.
For root, I have my SSH public key in .ssh/authorized_keys. The key should also work for git. Do I have to add another authorized_keys file for this git user? With my useradd command, I do not create a home directory where I could add it, so where should it go?
Thank you all for your help!
Run sudo tail -f /var/log/auth.log and attempt to login once more from a different console. You will see now the lag that should tell you why exactly the login was denied.
In my case there were wrong permissions for the home folder.
You did create a home directory, it just isn't sitting under /home.
/srv/git
Under that directory create a .ssh directory, fix the permissions:
mkdir /srv/git/.ssh
chmod 0700 /srv/git/.ssh
Create a new authorized_keys file with the public key in it, fix the permissions:
vim /srv/git/.ssh/authorized_keys # or method of your choice
chmod 0600 /srv/git/.ssh/authorized_keys

How to give permissions for specific commands in linux

I am new to linux. I have a build.sh file which consists of a lot of mkdir commands and some rm commands. But as I have installed this new in my VB, each time I run the .sh file, it says "Permission Denied for creating directory" and fails.
So is there any way that I grant directory privileges to all users.
Can anyone help me with this
Add "sudo" in the beginning of the directory creation command i.e
sudo mkdir dir_name
The issue might be with the directory in which the mkdir command is being run.
Use the command ll or ls -l to check the directory permissions.
If your directory doesn't have write privilege for the current user, you can run
chmod -R u+w /path/to/directory
This might require you to use sudo if permission is denied.
If you want to enable it for all users, run
chmod -R ugo+w /path/to/directory
Alternatively, a quick fix would be to run the build.sh file as root
sudo /path/to/build.sh
However, this approach is not advised unless you always run it as root

Add permission to two users (my apache server and myself)

I want my php script to be able to create file, edit, and delete it, so I need to give it permissions to do so in Linux.
I've done this with one of the stackoverflow answers with this code:
sudo chown -R www-data:www-data .
But when I do so, I lose my user access to files - so I can't open them with gedit for example until I change permissions back like so:
sudo chown -R igor /var/www/html/demo/myDir
I think I need to give permission to Apache, but leave my access as well. I feel there is some easy answer to make it work, but I can't find one. Any suggestions?
You are changing the owner of the files, if you want to change the permission of the files without changing the owner you need to use : chmod.
For example if you want to read write and execute on the current folder you can use: chmod 777 .
If what you want is the two users have the same permissions over the folder you could add your user to the group www-data (assuming that you are in the files folder):
sudo usermod -a -G www-data youruser
sudo chgrp -R www-data .
sudo chmod -R 770 .

Enable write permission for directory in Linux

I keep trying to move files from a directory on Linux- but I keep getting permission errors.
Initially I was told
sudo chmod -R r+w /directory/*
But this only applies it to the directory folder (and not the files inside)
Trick is- you need to "select all" to apply the file permissions to:
sudo chmod -R a+rwx,go-w /directory/
And that's it
Or you could do sudo chmod 777 /dir/
and that's just a simple way to do the answer stated above.

Linux folder permissions for multiple users

I have the directory /var/app which I've set to be the home directory for the user 'isapp'. The owner of the folder is 'isapp' and the group is 'isapp'. I'm using Amazon's EC2 service, so when you login to SSH you use the user 'ec2-user'. How can I make it so I can access the contents of that directory via SSH? At the moment I get permission denied with and without sudo.
You can
Create a group for the users that should be able to access this folder
Add isapp and ec2-user to this group
chgrp the /var/app folder to this group
chmod the /var/app folder and allow read and execute access for the group chmod g+rx /var/app
The fact that you cannot access this folder with sudo is more strange, sudo cd /var/app is not expected to work but sudo ls /var/app should.
usermod -G ec2-user isapp
chmod g+rwx /var/app
