Can't edit website files on AWS Cloud9 IDE

Keywords: Django - AWS - Technical issue - Permissions
Description:
Given that Google Cloud Platform doesn't offer its built-in IDE, I integrated AWS Cloud9 online IDE to my GCP Django project in order to build a web application, but it's ironic that I'm stuck editing a basic HTML index file, let alone push the changes live.

I tried to add an addition "!" sign at the end of "Congratulation!" for testing purposes and hit run, but I keep getting a permission error message no matter what I try.

Hi @Ayman,

It seems AWS Cloud9 doesn't have permissions to write to the file in the /opt/bitnami/apache2/htdocs/ folder. The index.html is owned by bitnami. Could you ask in a specialized AWS forum about the user you are logging in with? Perhaps it's possible to change that user to bitnami.

Regards,

If you're asking about the user I signed in with, I'm logging with my personal root user and have full access to the whole thing, so it's not just a IAM access, though I didn't really understand your request.
