Do not have permissions to write to a file

[edytajordan]

Hello,

I am not able to write to a file (any type), do any error logs, etc. None of the things I tried for changing permissions worked. It doesn't work on both Mac or Windows. Not sure what I'm doing wrong.

I was having the same problem. More precisely, I was not able to write into a file in /var/www. Writing in /tmp was working. I compared the permissions on the folders with a previous install which was working and I noticed that the folder /var/www belongs to www-data in my previous install and belongs to vagrant in the new install. I went into the config.yaml file, changed vagrant to www-data in this block:

        synced_folder:
            folder1:
                owner: www-data
                group: www-data
                source: ./
                target: /var/www

Then it worked as expected.
