Hi all 👋 While we haven’t been able to duplicate this at the moment so far we feel this may be permission related, if anyone continues to see that prompt beyond the wp-config.php edit (perhaps @nametags4u ) may we please have you try running the following command?

` docker exec devkinsta_fpm chown -R www-data:www-data /www/kinsta/public/`

If the issue persists beyond that may we have the output of the following:

On DevKinsta (Docker):  
`docker exec devkinsta_fpm ls -al /www/kinsta/public/`  
`docker exec devkinsta_fpm ls -al /www/kinsta/public/SITE_NAME/`

On Windows (Command Prompt):  
`icacls C:\Users\USER\DevKinsta\public`  
`icacls C:\Users\USER\DevKinsta\SITE_NAME`

Thank you! Hopefully this helps pinpoint what might being on there for anyone still having difficulties!
