I am new to all of this so forgive the newbie questions please and thank you.  
A team mate utilized these links to install AWX

I am able to login to the Web UI, trying to create a new project with a source control type of manual. However the project base path of /var/lib/awx/projects is not found nor can I change that path. I created those directories manually but I am still unable to save projects to the directories. awx-operator is being used
