    Duplicated my files successfully ran the installer on my site. Now I am getting an error at the validation stage of deployment:

    Configuration file: The WordPress configuration file (wp-config.php) must be accessible and writeable to the installer

    What can I do to resolve this?

    Hi

    I managed to fix the issue.

    Now I am having an error with my path at this final stage, step 3 update data.

    In the path of my install.. what do I need to write here? Currently it is
    “/app/web”

    but my installer zip is in the dir “shelta/web/” and all related files are in the “web/” dir under “app”

    Hey @bolti95,

    Typically on most setups, the installer would only need to be able to write to the folder that it’s in and some of its subfolders. So if you placed the installer and archive in this directory /shelta/web/ Then it typically would not need access to a directory outside itself unless you have some sym-links setup.

    You might double-check with your hosting provider in the event they have symlinks mapping to other locations. In the event they do then those other directories would need the same permissions as the /shelta/web/ path.

    Hope that helps~
