I'm setting up an Ubuntu server where I'd like to host several WordPress-based sites which were originally on a temporary Windows XP based server (using xampp). Now I run into permission-troubles moving those sites to the Ubuntu server, using CoreFTP, so I hope someone can help me:
1. Moving wordpress files from Windows to linux. I can't seem to move the entire wordpress folder from xampp/htdocs to /var/www, using CoreFTP. How to solve the permission problems so I can write to that directory without causing security issues?
2. Do I actually need to install a new wordpress-site into /var/www and import a wordpress-backup I made on the windows machine? Even so, how do I get rid of the permission problems in /var/www?
Thanks in advance
