This sounds like a great solution. However, I am having a hard time finding the public.html file, <br>I followed this tutorial to install wordpress, <br>https://www.digitalocean.com/community/articles/how-to-install-wordpress-on-ubuntu-12-04 <br>the root directory for wordpress is in var/www but i don’t see public.html anywhere. What am I missing? <br>

@shanelharder: If you followed that tutorial, then your Wordpress folder should be in “~/wordpress/” so you’d run: <br> <br><pre> <br>sudo chown -R www-data:www-data ~/wordpress/ <br></pre>
