This is not the /www directory, but the /home/morgan/www/ directory. You do not need ownership (although it is customary of directories under your home directory), but write permission. Execute sudo chown morgan ~/www sudo chmod 755 ~/www If there are any files in ~/www, such as an existing 'mysite' directory, delete them.
