You will have to prefix any commands that change files with '''sudo''', since everything is owned by the web server. Here is an example of what making a new directory looks like:

			sudo install -v -d -m 755 -o www-data -g www-data ''new_directory_name''

			Here's what copying a file from your current directory into '''/var/www''' looks like:

			sudo install -v -m 644 -o www-data -g www-data my_file /var/www/

			Here's what editing a file looks like:

			sudo vi ''file_to_edit''

 The pages in the website derive their style information from the [http://wdn.unl.edu UNL Templates], based on a [[:Wikipedia:PHP|PHP]] [[:Wikipedia:PEAR|PEAR]] framework provided by UNL.
