I'm a ubuntu 11.04 user, and all I wanna know is, if everytime I wanna test a new code i have to go to the terminal and sudo jEdit archivename, then save it, to test it.

If I start a new script just by opening jEdit with dbclick, I have no permission to save on /var/www/, could a chown /www/ solve that?If not, what would?

    It could, and it could also trash the existing permissions such that other daemons/users that need to read/write/whatever to that directory will no longer be able to do so.

    The proper permissions would solve it. 🙂

    What are the existing permissions on the directory?

      is /var/www/ your local web root?

      I didn't chown my web root, but i did chmod to 777. it works just fine (though I don't use jEdit).
