Failed to open stream: Permission denied

RiversideRocks

I'm trying to run a Flarum site on my Raspberry Pi. Everything has been going quite well so far but this morning people complained they could log in and I started seeing these errors in my logs:

PHP Warning:  file_put_contents(/var/www/scams/storage/sessions/xxx): failed to open stream: Permission denied in /var/www/scams/vendor/illuminate/filesystem/Filesystem.php on line 133

How can I fix this? I've given the folder the correct permissions (maybe even too high permissions):

$ ls -la
drwxrwxrwx 10 pi pi   4096 Dec 20 16:53 storage
drwxrwxrwx 46 pi pi   4096 Feb 26 18:17 vendor

RiversideRocks Make sure you chown the entire Flarum directory (recursively) to the user under which your web server is running

Thanks for the advice, I made www-data the owner of the folder:

$ sudo chown -R www-data:www-data scams

I'm still getting errors.

RiversideRocks Still the same type? Quite odd... If you check the specific permissions of the storage/sessions directory, what does that tell you?
