admin管理员组

Im not sure if this question is about server, git or wordpress. i have wordpress set up on ubuntu VPS in /home/user its working now when all chown and group is "user".

however, when i git pull (as user root) it set the files owner and group to root. then they dont work.

so either wordpress should be able to run with files who have root ownership, or somehow the wordpress directory should automatically chown when i pull, possible?

WordPress and Apache
WordPress needs to be able to use Apache. By default Apache runs on Ubunutu as user www-data. And ... www-data is also a member of the group www-data

So when you try to do a Git Pull then every file will have the wrong permissions as it's expecting the owner to be able to run things on Apache.

If you do a CHOWN to make everything under your '/wordpress' directory to be owned by www-data everything should be fixed ... run this command:

sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /wordpress

You'll need to run this command as sudo. And you may need to check your permissions on folders under wp-content
