page_cache not writable for template install

[adminomnif6892]

I followed the directions in the knowledge base and searched around and am unable to figure this out.  I uploaded, via filezilla, the two folders to install a new premnium template.  I went to setup and got the following:

bitnami@ip-172-26-1-9:~$ cd /bitnami/magento/bitnami@ip-172-26-1-9:/bitnami/magento$ php bin/magento setup:upgradecache_dir "/bitnami/magento/var/page_cache" is not writablebitnami@ip-172-26-1-9:/bitnami/magento$

I am using Lightsail from amazon (AWS) and am very new to using bitnami (as in this is my first ever venture).

any advice would be very helpful.

thank you

sorry, that didn't format correctly

bitnami@ip-172-26-1-9:~$ cd /bitnami/magento/

bitnami@ip-172-26-1-9:/bitnami/magento$ php bin/magento setup:upgrade

cache_dir "/bitnami/magento/var/page_cache" is not writable

bitnami@ip-172-26-1-9:/bitnami/magento$

Hello @adminomnif6892,

Greetings!

I understood your issue. A very simple solution is there. You need to give permission to your var folder. Run the following command to give permission.

chmod -R 777 var

Hope this will help you.
