    Hello,

    I got the known error for directory: /bitnami/wordpress/wp-content/cache/object. I tried changing the permissions to 755/644 (Folder/Files) and it didn’t work. However, when changing permissions to 775/644 worked. I am wondering what the issue might be. Thank you in advance for your help.

    Hello @omgraj

    Thank you for reaching out and I am happy to assist you with this.

    Can you please confirm the error was the ability to delete the folder /cache/object?

     0755 is the prefered permissions, but only if it works on your server.
    0775 is almost as secure. Just that in this case the “group” has also got write permissions on the folder. That should not be a problem if your server is properly configured. However, it is possible for the “group” to include users not related to you whom you might not want to have write access to your folders.

    The first digit of the code (7) = Owner has read, written, and execute privileges
    Second digit of the code (7 or 5) = “group” has read, possibly write, and execute priviledges
    The third digit of the code (5) = the public has read and executed privileges.

    Thanks!
