| Mar 15, 2016 at 10:55 | comment | added | Sriram | 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? | |
| Mar 15, 2016 at 10:37 | comment | added | Wildcard | @Sriram, chmod g+x oldApps, you mean? Not sure I get the question. | |
| Mar 15, 2016 at 10:15 | comment | added | Sriram | 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 | |
