# Assuming you're on an Ubuntu instance ...

# 6. Add the ubuntu user to the www-data group, this will give the user the required file permissions
sudo usermod -a -G www-data ubuntu

# 7. Update the ownsership of the /var/www directory
sudo chown -R root:www-data /var/www

# 8. Change the permissions in the directory, and make them sticky, so that future
# directories created will have the same permissions
sudo chmod 2775 /var/www

# 8.1. Update the permissions of directories, and make the permissions sticky
find /var/www -type d -exec sudo chmod 2775 {} +

# 8.2. Update the permissions of files, and make them sticky
find /var/www -type f -exec sudo chmod 0664 {} +

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