To fix file permissions for the Apache web server

Some of the available features in WordPress require write access to the Apache document root (such as uploading media though the Administration screens). If you have not already done so, apply the following group memberships and permissions (as described in greater detail in the LAMP web server tutorial).

Grant file ownership of /var/www and its contents to the apache user.
[ec2-user ~]$ sudo chown -R apache /var/www

Grant group ownership of /var/www and its contents to the apache group.
[ec2-user ~]$ sudo chgrp -R apache /var/www

Change the directory permissions of /var/www and its subdirectories to add group write permissions and to set the group ID on future subdirectories.
[ec2-user ~]$ sudo chmod 2775 /var/www
[ec2-user ~]$ find /var/www -type d -exec sudo chmod 2775 {} \;

Recursively change the file permissions of /var/www and its subdirectories.
[ec2-user ~]$ find /var/www -type f -exec sudo chmod 0644 {} \;

Note
If you intend to also use WordPress as an FTP server, you'll need more permissive Group settings here. Please review the recommended steps and security settings in WordPress to accomplish this.  See "To set file permissions" below.

Restart the Apache web server to pick up the new group and permissions.
[ec2-user ~]$ sudo systemctl restart httpd


To set file permissions
-------------------------------
Add your user (in this case, ec2-user) to the apache group.
[ec2-user ~]$ sudo usermod -a -G apache ec2-user

Log out and then log back in again to pick up the new group, and then verify your membership.
[ec2-user ~]$ exit

To verify your membership in the apache group, reconnect to your instance, and then run the following command:
[ec2-user ~]$ groups
ec2-user adm wheel apache systemd-journal

Change the group ownership of /var/www and its contents to the apache group.
[ec2-user ~]$ sudo chown -R ec2-user:apache /var/www

To add group write permissions and to set the group ID on future subdirectories, change the directory permissions of /var/www and its subdirectories.
[ec2-user ~]$ sudo chmod 2775 /var/www && find /var/www -type d -exec sudo chmod 2775 {} \;

To add group write permissions, recursively change the file permissions of /var/www and its subdirectories:
[ec2-user ~]$ find /var/www -type f -exec sudo chmod 0664 {} \;

Now, ec2-user (and any future members of the apache group) can add, delete, and edit files in the Apache document root, enabling you to add content, such as a static website or a PHP application.
