Upload file could not be moved to wp-content/uploads

I know it has been asked over and over again on the internet and i spend hours digging deeper into the web. But the no answer so far.

Why we get this error when you upload a file
The uploaded file could not be moved to wp-content/uploads

  1. I tried various file persimission on folders and files in the ftp.
  2. Tried a fresh install WP.
  3. I tried this code define( 'UPLOADS', 'wp-content/uploads' );
  4. I tried adding the path in the wp/options.php location for upload_path.
  5. I created the upload folder manually, because when i installed WP the wp-content folder does not have any folder named uploads

But nothing so far..

Local Server
There is no issue so far in the local server.

I am just a beginner and learning WordPress from scratch. The only issue i got stuck is this file upload thing.

Can anyone help me!

I experienced this error while preparing an AWS ec2 Bitnami micro-instance configured for WordPress. This approach requires the command-line, so please launch a terminal-session and begin via SSH into the deployed production.

  1. cd into the application document-root:

    /home/bitnami/apps/wordpress/htdocs:

  2. Execute the below command to identify the Apache web-server:

    ps aux | egrep '(apache|httpd)'

    Revealing daemon in this case, as captured within the terminal-output screenshot below:

    enter image description here

  3. Ultimately, the below-command remediated the error; users should now have the ability to successfully media-upload content via the WordPress Content Management system/admin-panel:

    sudo chown -R daemon:daemon wp-content

I recommend the following dox for guidance regarding the Linux-commands referenced herein:
