Raspberry Pi Forums

Hi there forum

I'm trying to setup a LAMP server on my pi and in my attempts to set up a new admin user for added security, I am not granted permission to write in "/etc/group"

I've added my new username after every entry that ends with pi (for example adm4:pi, user), but i still cannot save my results in the end.

You can find instructions to add a new user in the wiki

Are you running the install as root ?


any other details you can provide may help us help you. OS Version/Install method/possibly the log of when the error happens

To edit the group file then you need to be as root (ie use sudo)
