Using with Bitnami on AWS (uses htaccess.conf)

    I love the plugin (thanks) but I’m struggling to get it set up properly on AWS using the Bitnami image. Bitnami uses htaccess.conf instead of .htaccess files https://docs.bitnami.com/aws/components/apache/#use_htaccess so that seems to be causing some errors (an example:
    Warning: mkdir(): Permission denied in /opt/bitnami/apps/wordpress/htdocs/wp-content/plugins/all-in-one-wp-security-and-firewall/classes/wp-security-utility-file.php on line 390 )

    I find it difficult to search this support forum so apologies if I’ve missed it but do you have any info about how to set up AIOWPSF on Bitnami’s image?

    I guess it’ll boil down to 2 options; override the htaccess.conf file for certain directories or manually copy the changes AIOWPSF wants to make to the .htaccess file into htaccess.conf (but I don’t know where to find that info anywhere in AIOWPSF).

    Hi, are you talking about a local install using Bitnami and Xampp? If you are perhaps you might want to install WordPress without using Bitnami. This would create less of a hassle for you in my humble opinion.

    @mbrsolution Thanks for your reply. I’m actually using Amazon’s AWS so Bitnami is supposed to be a more secure way of setting things up. Sadly, the “more secure” way of using htaccess.conf rather than .htaccess brings some challenges.

    @unclesabre, that is correct. In that case you will have to find the alternative in htaccess.conf to replace the entries in your .htaccess file.

    @mbrsolution – the problem is that the plugin is unable to write to .htaccess (I don’t have one) so there are no “entries in your .htaccess file”.

    My question is whether I can either set up the plugin to write to the htaccess.conf file or display the snippet the plugin is trying to write to the .htaccess file so I can copy and paste it into the htaccess.conf file manually.

    Hi, the plugin developers will investigate further your issue.

    Thank you
