LAMP Error on AWS: Error writing server configuration file ".htaccess"

Question

I'm setting up a silverstripe(4) project using LAMP with AWS and I am new to the programming world. I'm having trouble with after entering the php dev/build. This error comes up:

error-log.ERROR: Uncaught Exception Exception: "Error writing server configuration file ".htaccess"" at /var/www/alsoherdaughter/vendor/silverstripe/assets/src/Flysystem/AssetAdapter.php line 157 {"exception":"[object] (Exception(code: 0): Error writing server configuration file \".htaccess\" at /var/www/alsoherdaughter/vendor/silverstripe/assets/src/Flysystem/AssetAdapter.php:157)"}

Not sure what I have done wrong. I have looked about for information/resolutions but not having much luck.

You should be able to (temporarily at least) solve any permission issue with:

chmod 777 /var/www/alsoherdaughter/ -R

(in a Linux terminal)

I mentioned temporarily. If you don't have ownership to the items at hand, it's possible the above chmod will be overwritten again by some other process operating by someone else.

You might be able to permanently solve it with:

chown /var/www/alsoherdaughter/ YOUR_USERNAME_HERE

@EmmaKevern Hi! Yes, you should be able to permanently solve it with `chown`, I've updated my answer with the code. – HoldOffHunger Jan 30 '22 at 16:05
