problems with apache2 /var/www/html

[Linux for blind general discussion]

Generally I like to see the webserver configured as www-data:www-data.
You can use a different user, but the user should nonetheless be a
member of the www-data group.

You'll also want to look to your php.ini file, specifically:
file_uploads
upload_max_filesize &
post_max_size

These last 2 should either be equal to each other or the post_max_size
should be larger than upload_max_filesize.

You'll also wish to check your directory permissions. 0644 is
generally sufficient.

Examination of the error logs can be very helpful in this regard, as
it's generally a good way to precisely pinpoint the error.
