I accidentally wrote chown -R root:root / and now my website is not working? I assume this is due to changing the owner of /var/www. My server runs using nginx, what folders should i change to what owner to restore this problem. What should www-data own?



Thanks.

  • This would be a good time to find your backups, I think.
