Can I not just change the permissions of the folder?<br />

Hello,<br />
<br />
I'm trying to configure a server to act as internet server. &nbsp;I think I've got it but I'm unable to test php because I cannot add a file to /var/www/html<br />
<br />
All I get is an error message - &quot;&nbsp;you do not have the permissions necessary to save the file&quot;<br />
<br />
It sounds like a simple error to fix however I'm a complete newbie when it comes to Linux (I'm talking about a days experience)<br />
<br />
Thanks.
