Had the same issue on the same ubuntu, apparently, that folder /var/www is owned by root and only root has write permissions, unless you change that.<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Tue, Jun 15, 2010 at 4:40 PM, Samuel Waithaka <span dir="ltr">&lt;<a href="mailto:samwaithaka@gmail.com">samwaithaka@gmail.com</a>&gt;</span> wrote:<br>

<br>
After setting up LAMP stack on Ubuntu 10.04, I need to transfer some<br>
work to the webserver root, (/var/www), but I can&#39;t paste into it.<br>
Tried linking to /home/user/public but I get the message &quot;to hard link<br>
not allowed for directory&quot;. Exactly what&#39;s supposed to happen? Please<br>
assist.<br>
