I was not able to update plugin in my wordpress so I followed a tutorial that said I should run the following command: chown -R www-data:www-data *
After running the command, the following was all I can see when i visit my site:
Forbidden You don’t have permission to access / on this server. Apache/2.4.29 (Ubuntu) Server at vplaya.com Port 80
Any help will be appreciated
Thank you, Thebe

Hi Unixynet,
I figured out that hat command that I ran initially actually deleted the entire www folder, so I had to replace content with the backup. It’s all good now and I guess I will have to find an easier way to update plugins that to destroy my site with some nasty commands like I did.
Thanks for the reply though, much appreciated.
Regards, Thebe
