Magento 2 file permission

Magento, Uncategorized

File system permissions and ownership

Use the following steps:

If you haven’t already done so, log in to your Magento server as, or switch to, the Magento file system owner.
Change to the Magento installation directory:
```
cd <web server docroot>/<magento2 base dir>
```
The base directory is typically a subdirectory named magento2 under your web server’s docroot. Need help locating the docroot? Click here.

Examples:
```
Ubuntu: /var/www/magento2
CentOS: /var/www/html/magento2
```

Set ownership:

chown -R :<your web server group name> .

Typical examples:

CentOS: chown -R :apache .
Ubuntu: chown -R :www-data .

Set permissions:

find . -type d -exec chmod 770 {} \; && find . -type f -exec chmod 660 {} \; && chmod u+x bin/magento

If you must enter the commands as sudo, use:

sudo find . -type d -exec chmod 770 {} \; && sudo find . -type f -exec chmod 660 {} \; && sudo chmod u+x bin/magento
