Hi! Do i need to run my Ghost installation as root? Can I change to another user with su privileges? And how would I go about permissions for /var/www/ to make it work and have write access (to upload themes, etc.)? I tried changing the owner of /var/www/ to another user, then to root and group (root:group), but all I accomplished is SQL errors and the need to reinstall the droplet.
Any help welcome.
