Description:
I have enabled LoadModule expires_module modules/mod_expires.so
and restart the server
and installed a caching plugin (wp-fastest cache plugin) to enable browser caching .. but when I check the performance in GTmetrix ... the result shows 0 for Leverage browser caching as follow:

and here are the wordpress files and permission is the permissions and owners correct?? or need modification.

Hi @ghina.altal,

I'm afraid that I'm not familiar with the wp-fastest cache plugin or how GTmetrix calculates that metrics. Could you double check that the plugin was enabled or needs any additional configuration after it is installed?

Regarding the file permissions, they look correct and should not be modified, otherwise, your site wouldn't be working correctly.

In addition, you can find some ways to improve your WordPress performance in this link to our documentation. Would any of these options work for you?

@alejandror is it safe to grant .htacess file full permission??

what about daemon group .. should it be the group owner..

some user here advise to run these command for permission:

sudo chown -R bitnami:daemon /opt/bitnami/apache2/htdocs
sudo chmod -R g+w /opt/bitnami/apache2/htdocs

what do you think?

Hi @ghina.altal,

My bad, I didn't notice that. I can see that @jota already provided a solution for this in this thread:

Please run that command to fix the permissions of the file. However, as jota also mentions, the usage of the .htaccess file is discouraged:

Hi @alejandror ...

sorry but I get a little confused about that! , should I run these commands now ??:

sudo chown -R bitnami:daemon /opt/bitnami/apache2/htdocs
sudo chmod -R g+w /opt/bitnami/apache2/htdocs
sudo chmod 644 /opt/bitnami/apache2/htdocs/wp-config.php

about .htacess file , the path of it is opt/bitnami/apache2/htdocs/.htaccess ...
should I give it 664 permission also? is it secure to grant daemon group write access to the file???

please I need to make things clear

No @ghina.altal,

The commands you need to run are these ones

WordPress is installed at /opt/bitnami/apps/wordpress/htdocs not at /opt/bitnami/apache2/htdocs
