  • Agreed. I figured I was running the mkdir command as root. How do I get the ability to run mkdir on www if I did not have the entry in the sudoers file Commented Mar 15, 2016 at 10:15
  • @Sriram, chmod g+x oldApps, you mean? Not sure I get the question. Commented Mar 15, 2016 at 10:37
  • I meant if I remove the entry in the sudoers file, I cannot create the directory. How do I remove the sudoers entry and still create the sub-directory? Commented Mar 15, 2016 at 10:55
  • @Sriram, the most straightforward way would be to give your group write permissions on that directory, unless you have some reason not to. chmod g+w oldApps (my last comment had a typo, sorry.) Commented Mar 15, 2016 at 11:03
  • This did not work. I am not able to delete any sub-directory of oldApps - with sudo or without. Commented Mar 15, 2016 at 12:01
