Cannot copy apache configuration file during build

Build Environment
1

I’m trying to set up a build using the instructions provided here:
https://circleci.com/docs/language-php/#php-apache

When the build tries to copy the file it outputs the following:

cp ~/core/apache_ci.conf /etc/apache2/sites-available

cp: cannot create regular file ‘/etc/apache2/sites-available/apache_ci.conf’: Permission denied

cp ~/core/apache_ci.conf /etc/apache2/sites-available returned exit code 1

Action failed: cp ~/core/apache_ci.conf /etc/apache2/sites-available

I tried a separate build where I catthe file which succeeded and cd into the directory successfully.

Any help would be appreciated.

Try prefixing the commands with sudo since you are doing work outside of the user directory.

So instead of:

cp ~/core/apache_ci.conf /etc/apache2/sites-available,

it would be:

sudo cp ~/core/apache_ci.conf /etc/apache2/sites-available.
