Adaptive Images Error — The .htaccess file is not updated

Here is the Debug info:

Debug info
✔ PHP GD library is installed.
✖ Image cache directory has not been created.
It seems that the directory is not writeable. This is probably a filesystem permissions issue.
Consider adding manually the image cache directory: “/wp-content/cache/adaptive-images”.

/opt/bitnami/apps/wordpress/htdocs/wp-content/cache =>
✖ Installation .htaccess file is not properly setup.
The .htaccess file is not writeable so it might have not been updated.

Yes, I can try to assist but I’m by no means a subject matter on this. I just started to pick all this up so if you can bare with me I can try.

1) I see an Apache folder so I would imagine it’s safe to say it is Apache.
/opt/bitnami/apache2

2)No clue on either point. How can I tell? I can say for certain that the .htaccess file is not present here: /opt/bitnami/apps/wordpress/htdocs/. What I do see are numerous files and three WP folders, admin, content and includes.

3) No clue, what I do see there are 9 adaptive-images-xxx.php files, index.php, licence, readme,todo and uninstall. This is the path i am looking at, to confirm I’m not seeing something incorrectly. /opt/bitnami/apps/wordpress/htdocs/wp-content/plugins/adaptive-images

This is the URL discussing the Bitnami deployment, it didn’t display correctly in the last post.

I agree, I would say it’s not a WP issue, I believe it might be better said that the issue has to do with how it was deployed in this instance.

I tried to follow all manner of tutorials but all of them led to dead ends because files/folders simply were not where they ought to be.

As to link you referred to, I looked at it but that speaks to setting up WP from scratch and what I have is a pre-configured image. As such, I may need to scrap the whole server and start again but for now, it will stay that way. Thanks for your help in any case.

Talk about frustrating, not even these instuctions line up with what I’m seeing.

In the below:

Open the httpd.conf file with your favorite text editor .

[ec2-user wordpress]$ sudo vim /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf

Find the section that starts with <Directory “/var/www/html”>.

There is no such file or even the path to the file.
