Hi, complete novice here. Way over my head. Installed Parsoid and Visual Editor on Mediawiki (Bitnami on AWS). Website says "internal api error" when trying to use VIsual Editor. Using PuTTY to access localsettings and Parsoid config.yaml, but I get back "no write permission". Try looking up settings.js (or localsettings.js) for Parsoid, but those are not found.

Did you confirm your wiki was working without the VE/Parsoid combo? Probably a good place to start.
Welcome. If you're having other problems with installing MediaWiki, then you might also be able to get help at https://discourse-mediawiki.wmflabs.org/ , from the MediaWiki Stakeholders' Group, or at the Project:Support desk. Good luck!
