sorry:

using this basic command:

chown username home/username/public_html/path_to_directory

You've used example usernames and file paths here. Please give the exact command as it's typed, and the exact reply from chown.

error message: can't find file/directory

This is not an error message that chown prints. Please do not rephrase the output; simply paste it as it appears from chown.

It's very likely that the file does not exist. Please check using "ls" that the filename and path are correct.


Cheers,
Phil
