I have been working my way through the CMS guidance to create a DDEV project to create a local Drupal (11) website. I get to the ddev Composer step and this happens:
$ mpw1950@McCullin:~/ve25$ ddev composer create drupal/recommended-project:^11Executing Composer command: [composer create-project --no-plugins --no-scripts --no-install drupal/recommended-project:^11 /tmp/GvzJue]Creating a "drupal/recommended-project:^11" project at "/tmp/GvzJue"Installing drupal/recommended-project (11.1.3)Plugins have been disabled. - Installing drupal/recommended-project (11.1.3): Extracting archiveCreated project in /tmp/GvzJueMoving install to Composer root rsync: [generator] chgrp "/var/www/html/." failed: Operation not permitted (1) rsync: [receiver] mkstemp "/var/www/html/.composer.json.W5zjkY" failed: Permission denied (13) rsync: [receiver] mkstemp "/var/www/html/.composer.lock.9V8HJC" failed: Permission denied (13) rsync error: some files/attrs were not transferred (see previous errors) (code 23) at main.c(1338) [sender=3.2.7] Failed to create project: composeCmd failed to run 'COMPOSE_PROJECT_NAME=ddev-ve25 docker-compose -f /home/mpw1950/ve25/.ddev/.ddev-docker-compose-full.yaml exec -w /var/www/html -T web bash -c set -eu && ( rsync -rltgopD "/tmp/GvzJue/" "/var/www/html/")', action='[exec -w /var/www/html -T web bash -c set -eu && ( rsync -rltgopD "/tmp/GvzJue/" "/var/www/html/")]', err='exit status 23', stdout='', stderr='rsync: [generator] chgrp "/var/www/html/." failed: Operation not permitted (1)rsync: [receiver] mkstemp "/var/www/html/.composer.json.W5zjkY" failed: Permission denied (13)rsync: [receiver] mkstemp "/var/www/html/.composer.lock.9V8HJC" failed: Permission denied (13)rsync error: some files/attrs were not transferred (see previous errors) (code 23) at main.c(1338) [sender=3.2.7]'I am not using the Docker Desktop, and I am using the community version . Although I have a long developer background, I am not yet adept with Linux, many other OS, and a dozen programming languages though.
What am I missing? How do I get past this issue? Help willbe much appreciated,
