+Rights access to the folders of the project
+-------------------------------------------
+
+
+Test Environment
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+When we just want to test Wallabag, we just run the command ``php bin/console server:run --env=prod`` to start our Wallabag instance and everything will go smoothly because the user who started the project can access to the current folder naturally, without any problem.
+
+
+Production Environment
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+As soon as we use Apache or Nginx to access to our Wallabag instance, and not from the command  ``php bin/console server:run --env=prod`` to start it, we should take care to grant the good rights on the good folders to keep safe all the folders of the project.
+
+To do so, the folder name, known as ``DocumentRoot`` (for apache) or ``root`` (for Nginx), has to be absolutely accessible by the Apache/Nginx user. Its name is generally ``www-data``, ``apache`` or ``nobody`` (depending on linux system used).
+
+So the folder ``/var/www/wallabag/web`` has to be accessible by this last one. But this could be not enough if we just care about this folder, because we could meet a blank page or get an error 500 when trying to access to the home page of the project.
+
+This is due to the fact that we will need to grant the same rights access on the folder ``/var/www/wallabag/var`` like those we gave on the folder ``/var/www/wallabag/web``. Thus, we fix this problem with the following command:
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+   chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/wallabag/var
