Well, my "server" is just a workstation with Apache on it, and it is located behind a gateway at the moment, and there is no one else on the network, so it is safe. I will remember not to but code inside / var/www/ but instead inside ~/code/ or something similar next time.
On a real server which might have multiple users, I should learn a bit more about group ownerships. Of course, I am still the only user.
