Bitnami server – Failed to activate wp-admin Folder BulletProof Mode protection

[Zsolt Edelényi]

Hi, I have this message when I click the activate WBM:

Failed to activate wp-admin Folder BulletProof Mode protection. Your wp-admin folder is NOT protected.

How can I troubleshoot this issue?

Does the web host allow a wp-admin htaccess file? Is this hosting account type “managed hosting”?

This is a AWS/bitnami WP, we have full access to the server. we use this to set the permissions:

sudo chown -R bitnami:daemon .
sudo find . -type d -exec chmod 755 {} \;
sudo find . -type f -exec chmod 644 {} \;
sudo chown -R daemon:bitnami wp-admin
sudo chown -R daemon:bitnami wp-includes
sudo chown -R daemon:bitnami wp-content

You may need to edit your vhosts conf or other server configuration files to get the wp-admin htaccess file working. See this Bitnami help page here > https://docs.bitnami.com/aws/infrastructure/lamp/administration/use-htaccess/#:~:text=htaccess%20file%20can%20be%20found,htaccess. Check your server log and php error log for errors for the cause of the problem.
