To allow your normal user to work with files in /var/www, you should use a group, but leave the user ownership alone.
groupadd wwwusersusermod -a -G wwwusers Santoshchown -R root:wwwusers /var/wwwIf you are using a live image, you generally don't expect any changes to be persistent across reboots. If you are going to use Fedora regularly instead of just previewing it, you should actually install Fedora.
yeah.. here is no cure for that except reinstalling the OS... It is because now the file can't somehow mount the var directory. This here is one of those fatal errors
also I forgot to mention... there is this error popping up in my friend's account while it ran perfectly fine in mine... chown: invalid user: ‘wwwusers:root’
If you can't boot the OS, you did something more than change the ownership of /var/www. And I think your friend probably missed a step.
What did you do exactly? What do you mean by "file partition"? What do you mean by "home directory being /var/www"? Did you create a user that has a home directory being "/var/www"? If you could provide the commands that you run that would make things easier to revert/correct them rather by letting others guessing what you did ;-)
If you just need to change the ownership of "/var/www" back to defaults this could be done using "su -c 'chown -R root:root /var/www'" (without the "").
I am unable to enter the OS let alone access a terminal.
