Good afternoon! I’ve recently installed on Amazon Cloud EC2 the WordPress 3.0 image (love how easy it is, by the way) but now i’m faced with an issue: how do I install the themes, files, and other items I need, since it’s not in the HTDOCS folder? I tried to SCP and SSH the files into the right spot and having no luck because i’m getting a Permission Denied (3) error. Any ideas?

Thanks!

Hi,

I checked that uploading a theme from the admin panel works well. If you want to copy files to the htdocs folder (/opt/bitnami/apps/wordpress/htdocs), you should change the user permissions. Try to copy the files in the “/tmp” folder for example. Then move your files to the htdocs folder as root user using sudo and change the permissions:

$ ssh bitnami@EC2instance
$ sudo mv /tmp/your_files /opt/bitnami/apps/wordpress/htdocs
$ sudo chown -R daemon:daemon /opt/bitnami/apps/wordpress/htdocs/your_files

I hope it helps.
