Can not restrict the Document Root directory for Apache - help required

[bigred_247]

I'm pretty new to Linux and am trying to lock down Apache 2.4 but can not get the following command to work. FYI, I am using Amazon Linux 2 on AWS:

example found online:
find -L $DOCROOT -group $GRP -perm /g=w -print | xargs chmod g-w

my command:
find -L /var/www/html -group apache -perm /g=w -print | xargs chmod g-w

but I receive the error: "chmod: missing operand after ‘g-w’"

Can anybody shed some light or assist?

Thanks.

man chmod

You have to specify the file being changed.

Make the results of your find a variable, then chmod g-w $MYVARIABLE
