-the lines to match the output from `ls -la` above and uncomment them if necessary.
+These files need to have the same user and group used to install your netdata. Suppose you installed netdata with user
+`netdata` and group `netdata`, in this scenario you will need to run the following command to fix the error:
-```conf

- web files owner = netdata
- web files group = netdata
+```bash
+# chown -R netdata.netdata /usr/share/netdata/web
```
-Save the file, restart Netdata using `sudo systemctl restart netdata`, or the [appropriate
-method](/docs/configure/start-stop-restart.md) for your system, and try accessing the dashboard again.
