Removed VSC from Kubuntu (my desktop)
Installed VSC and Remote-ssh
Removed the VM and cloned my last successful configuration
Problem still persisted
The whole idea was to edit remote. This requires installing PHP-FRM so
the owner of the docroot is an ssh capable user.
I have not instilled FRM. It is my understanding PHP-FRM is necessary
so the docroot owner can have SSH privileges and so PHP can
create/edit/delete files and directories. W/o PHP-FRM the docroot will
be owned by the Apache user - www-data and editing remote will not be
possible.
I changed the ownership of the docroot to the ssh user I was using in
VSC. This fixed the issue.
Now I can install PHP-FRM.
YIKES!!!!
So much to know to accomplish simple things. My hat is off to all you
system administrates.
