I'm trying to install Wordpress using the following installations. However, when I attempt to open the browser to set up Wordpress, I get an error that there is a problem establishing a database connection. I think it's because of an error I get when I run the chown command.

chown -R www-data /var/www/wordpress
I get a ton of error messages:
...
chown: changing ownership of `/var/www/wordpress/wp-admin/network/themes.php': Operation not permitted
chown: changing ownership of `/var/www/wordpress/wp-admin/network/users.php': Operation not permitted

Anyone know what's up with this?
You have to be root to change the owner of files/directories.
sudo chown -R www-data /var/www/wordpress
If you're getting an error like Operation not permitted, just type:
sudo !!
at the prompt to execute the last command with root priviledges. This way, you don't have to retype chown -R www-data /var/www/wordpress.
