Bruce,
I too am running Ubuntu. I suspect the problem is that you did not
use "sudo" to access the files under your www directory. For example
if you would normally "cp *.html /www" you would instead do "sudo cp
*.html /www" or if you would "vi /www/index.html" you would instead
do "sudo /www/index.html". For those of you not familiar with
Ubuntu, there is no root user where you can "su -" to root. Instead
you use "sudo" to accomplish the task and you don't have to remember
to exit root before working on something else. It is a security
feature of Ubuntu.
