Setting up Craft on Linode Using Ubuntu I'm setting up a Craft site on a Linode server has anyone had any experience with this? I'm struggling with which owner and user to set the var/www/html folder to with chown and what chmod settings to use on the craft folders. Currently Craft does not show the index page and can't find the admin folder which are all where they are supposed to be so it seems to be something to do with apache permissions. Just wondered if anyone could advise what these should be?
I assume you've seen https://www.linode.com/docs/websites/apache/apache-web-server-on-ubuntu-14-04?

Craft really isn't any different than any other PHP application in the way it needs to be setup to execute.  The only extra thing that other apps might not require (because most PHP apps don't auto-update) is that Craft needs to be able to recursively write to its craft/app folder in order for that to work.

There's a handy script here: https://github.com/nystudio107/craft-scripts that can help automate the necessary permissions for your box, but you'll need still need to know what user:group Apache is running as for it to set things up properly.
