What error is? 🚨
When you try to upload any image, the server responds with:
{
"errors": [
{
"message":"Internal server error, cannot upload image.",
"context":"EACCES: permission denied, mkdir '/opt/bitnami/ghost/content/images/2021/10'",
"type":"InternalServerError",

"help":null,
"code":"EACCES",
"id":"660baf30-1de9-11ec-906a-8dcde4a8621e"
}
]
}
What is your content path? 🗺
Before apply the fix, you need to know where is the content folder. Usually, it is "/opt/bitnami/ghost/content"
but you should verify it
In order to verify it, take a look to your config.production.json
file:
cat /opt/bitnami/ghost/config.production.json
At the bottom of the file, you will find it
...
"paths": {
"contentPath": "/opt/bitnami/ghost/content"
}
...
Copy the contentPath
property value: "/opt/bitnami/ghost/content"
💡 If you can not find the config file, search it with the command:
find -L / -name "config.production.json"
