Describe your issue as much as you can

While trying to fix permissions on my bitnami Magento 2 installation I accidentally ran this command and now I lost sudo

sudo chown daemon:daemon -R /

Now I am getting this error: bitnami@ip-172-31-34-120:~/stack/scripts$ sudo sudo: /etc/sudo.conf is owned by uid 1, should be 0 sudo: /usr/bin/sudo must be owned by uid 0 and have the setuid bit set

Is there a resource anyone can point me to to get sudo back?

I tried using su but the default bitnami password of passwd doesn't work.

When I try to run

chown: changing ownership of '/etc/sudo.conf': Operation not permitted

I still have an ssh terminal open but I'd lost the ability to connect to ftp.

[rukcus]

ls -l /usr/bin/sudo

daemon owns sudo

-rwxr-xr-x 1 daemon daemon 182600 Jan 14 2023 /usr/bin/sudo

Hi @rukcus,

Thanks for using Bitnami. I'm afraid it is not possible to update the filesystem permissions in your current server. You would need to mount the disk into another instance as a secondary disk, connect to that instance, mount the broken filesystem in a well-known directory, and finally fix the filesystem from there. Unfortunately, we can't provide you with help on this. You will need to find help in a more specialized forum.

We recommend you to start a new instance and migrate the application data if possible, but I'm afraid I don't know if you would be able to backup your current application data due to your current instance status.

If I were able to mount it as a second drive would it be a matter of just fixing Sudo with the correct owner or is it many different ownerships for different files?

Hi @rukcus,

I guess the wrong chown command changes many other files and directories in your filesystem (probably the whole filesystem) so I don't think fixing the sudo binary would be enough.
