Hi,

When logged into my Amazon EC2 instances as user ec2-user, I cannot edit/delete files in my web root folder.

All files are owned by apache:apache, and I have added ec2-user to the apache group. What am I missing?

To sum up:

[ec2-user@xxx ~]$ groups ec2-user
ec2-user : ec2-user wheel apache


[ec2-user@xxx ~]$ id ec2-user
uid=222(ec2-user) gid=500(ec2-user) groups=500(ec2-user),10(wheel),48(apache)


[ec2-user@xxx ~]$ ls -la /var/www/html
total 176
drwxrwxr-x  6 apache apache  4096 Oct 24 00:44 .
drwxr-xr-x  3 apache apache  4096 Oct 23 22:51 ..
-rwxrwxr-x  1 apache apache   395 Jan  8  2012 index.php

If I try to edit or remove index.php I get "Permission denied".

I must be missing something obvious!! Please help!

If you need anymore info, please let me know.

I'm kind of curious myself. What was the issue and resolution?
