Erik,

Looks like you had this same problem last time… Take a look here:

> [@Upgrading to version 1.7.6](https://community.dreamfactory.com/t/upgrading-to-version-1-7-6/253/11):

> General Linux Update Steps When Bitnami packages are installed there is a default user that it is installed by. This user is different than the user that we expect it to be, and the [installer.sh](http://installer.sh) doesn’t pick up on it. The solution: Go into your htdocs folder inside of the bitnami install and identify the owner and group. Run [installer.sh](http://installer.sh) (this unfortunately uses the logged in user currently instead of root, thus the commands below) Change the owner and group back to its original value…

It explains the problem - basically the installed by user is different than what the installer.sh expects so a permissions error comes into play.

Thanks,

- Mark
