You've used example usernames and file paths here. Please give the exact 
command as it's typed, and the exact reply from chown.

This is not an error message that chown prints. Please do not rephrase 
the output; simply paste it as it appears from chown.

It's very likely that the file does not exist. Please check using "ls" 
that the filename and path are correct.
