My webpage is showing
The requested URL /opt/bitnami/apps/drupal/htdocs/index.php was not found on this server.

I was trying to replace the bitnami/htdocs folder with a new version of drupal i locked my self out of the folder
after fiddling with the permissions in putty a bit.

WinSCP
Permission denied.
Error code: 3
Error message from server: Permission denied
Request code: 14

Putty
bitnami@domU-xx-xx-xx-xx-xx-xx:~/apps/drupal$ ls
conf drush htdocs licenses updateip
bitnami@domU-xx-xx-xx-xx-xx-xx:~/apps/drupal$ cd htdocs
-bash: cd: htdocs: Permission denied

Putty allows me to access the folder as "root" but not as "bitnami" is there a way to allow acces to all users once I am logged in as root $sudo su -

what can i do to gain access to this folder and gain permisions to read/write
so that i can replace it with my new installation of drupal 7.19?

Ok, you have a permission problem.

Login with root account and exec:

cd  ~bitnamy
cd apps
chown -R bitnamy drupal

Now that I have replaced the old htdocs folder successfully with the new one after copying my sites folder over

How can I authorize my drupal site permission to access the new htdocs folder witch includes the index.php file??

Beacuse when I go to my site in a browser I still get errors saying

"Not Found The requested URL /opt/bitnami/apps/drupal/htdocs/index.php was not found on this server."

However, the folder is there and the file is in that location so I gather that my site just needs permission to access it.

Is there a Command to authorize it?
possibly something simmalar to
root# mount -o remount rw, /

or

root# mount -o remount ro, /

or is there something in phpmyadmin that i need to allow access too?

folder permissions tab

thanks again drupal contribers!

when i try to access drupal im still getting
403
Forbidden
You don't have permission to access /drupal/ on this server.

I've been on putty and htdocs all day able to access my server still and to my demise i cant access my website howeveer i can access "amazonaws.com/index.html"

I can access my site via ssh is there someone who can explain clearly how best to repair my situation

can i replace the .htaccess and settings.php documents to recover my data?
i still have my sites file...

what can I do?
there has got to be something I can do

I'm was originally trying to update from 7.14 to 7.19 manually by copy the new install to the old folders with htdocs like you would with a localhost...

I realize now I should have used drush to update (I am using aws Ubuntu 12.04)

it really sucks seeing access denied!

I think i need to move / repair my .htacccess file if anyone can help me threw that...

right now it is sitting in the drupal/htdocs folder along with index.php

for whatever reason .htaccess file is greyed out like a hidden file but i assume this is typical of any file that has a period in-front

sudo chown -R bitnami:daemon /opt/bitnami/apps/drupal/htdocs

this worked for me

I need to get myself out of maintenance mode if anyone knows how to do that...
Thanks
