updated wordpress to 6.1 version and get the following error:

PHP Warning: chmod(): Operation not permitted in /opt/bitnami/wordpress/wp-admin/includes/class-wp-filesystem-direct.php on line 173

I tried following the video with instruction on changing permissions but still getting this error.

used the following

sudo chown -R daemon:bitnami /bitnami/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/
sudo chown daemon:daemon /bitnami/wordpress/wp-config.php
sudo chmod 664 /opt/bitnami/wordpress/wp-admin/includes/class-wp-filesystem-direct.php

Hi @stumac06,

Hi Jose,

I had already checked these but could not find a suitable solution

[jotamartos]

Did you run the commands to update the filesystem permissions?

sudo chown -R bitnami:daemon /opt/bitnami/wordpress
sudo find /opt/bitnami/wordpress -type d -exec chmod 775 {} \;
sudo find /opt/bitnami/wordpress -type f -exec chmod 664 {} \;
sudo chown -R bitnami:daemon /bitnami/wordpress
sudo find /bitnami/wordpress -type d -exec chmod 775 {} \;
sudo find /bitnami/wordpress -type f -exec chmod 664 {} \;
sudo chmod 640 /bitnami/wordpress/wp-config.php

Hi Still the same. Can you please tell me where I can find the log file that is populated from the wordpress core update and plugins update?

I do not know where that log file is stored. You can find all WordPress-related files inside the /opt/bitnami/wordpress folder. The commands I posted above should have solved the permission-related issues because they reset the confirmation and Apache should be able to read/write in that folder again. However, if you continue running into issues, you can contact the WordPress' support team to get more information.

Due to the lack of activity in the last 5 days since it was marked as "stale", we proceed to close this Issue. Do not hesitate to reopen it later if necessary.

Hi
I have the same problem
Wordpress site on AWS EC2 instance, on Bitnami

[proxy_fcgi:error] [pid 11901:tid 140644039243520] [client 192.241.225.22:51186] AH01071: Got error 'PHP message: PHP Warning: chmod(): Operation not permitted in /opt/bitnami/wordpress/wp-admin/includes/class-wp-filesystem-direct.php on line 173'

As far as I am aware the file permissions, user and group are as per recommended settings, namely:
User: bitnami
user group: daemon

when I check the permissions running:
ls /opt/bitnami/wordpress/wp-admin/includes/class-wp-filesystem-direct.php -la

this is what I am getting:
-rw-rw-r-- 1 bitnami daemon 17208 Mar 29 20:36 /opt/bitnami/wordpress/wp-admin/includes/class-wp-filesystem-direct.php

I checked the against all the guidance I could find and the original bitnami settings and it all seems to be set correctly

so I don't know why I am getting the error.
Any ideas?

Hi @stumac06,

Please create a separate issue. This is an old one and it's already closed. You can refer to this issue in your message for the support agent to know what you did to try to solve it.

Thanks
