AWS: Could not create directory

Thank you for reaching out regarding the issue you’re experiencing with All-in-One WP Migration on your AWS-hosted WordPress site. Based on your description, it seems that the problem is related to insufficient directory permissions on your server.

To resolve this issue, you will need to grant the proper permissions to your web server. Specifically, the web server requires read, write, and list permissions for the following folders:

wp-content
wp-content/plugins
wp-content/themes
wp-content/uploads
wp-content/ai1wm-backups

To update the permissions, please follow these steps:

1. Connect to your AWS instance using SSH.
2. Navigate to your WordPress installation directory (usually /var/www/html or a similar path).
3. Run the following commands to set the correct permissions for the specified directories:

sudo chown -R www-data:www-data wp-content
sudo find wp-content -type d -exec chmod 755 {} \;
sudo find wp-content -type f -exec chmod 644 {} \;

These commands will set the owner and group to ‘www-data’ (the default user for most web servers; your user might be different so you might need to change it accordingly) and update the directory and file permissions accordingly.

After completing these steps, try installing All-in-One WP Migration again.

After executing these commands im getting reports from users unable to upload files to the wordpress media folder.

What could possibly a rollback after using these commands?

OK we rolledback
Your commands went fine, except for our website using Bitnami

Could you possibly advice what should be done for this instance instead?
