# Set Ownership

## Set File or Directory Ownership

Set the ownership of your project directory and all directories/files in it to your root user and set the group to the webserver.

Run this commands:

    sudo chown -R $USER:www-data /path/to/your/application;

Now `cd /path/to/your/application` indo the project root and run below command:

    sudo chown -R www-data storage vendor bootstrap/cache storage/app/public/images;

Warning: Here the web server is running as `www-data` as most servers do. The `/path/to/your/application` is the project path. Replace the values with yours.
