Splunk WebFramework error

[koshyk]

Hi,
I'm in process of enabling SplunkJS Stack as per this link (Splunk 6.0.1)

I was able to install "myWebApp" successfully using..

/opt/splunk/etc/apps/framework/splunkdj createapp myWebApp

But when I'm running the app via GUI, it throws error..

Traceback (most recent call last):

OSError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/opt/splunk/etc/apps/framework/server/static/JS_CACHE'

Btw, I've checked permission for directories and as far as i can see all are fine.
I'm not sure if any of you guys have seen it. IF yes, any solution?

Resolved by doing chmod -R 775 on /opt/splunk/etc/apps/framework/server/static and checking that the folder is owned by splunk:splunk

[koshyk · Accepted solution]

Found the issue.
It is a bug.
Not sure if the splunkdj needs to change or something else.

(Permissions from /opt/splunk/etc/apps/framework/ does not have write access to splunk user)

[mikaelbje]

Do you have the bug ID? How did you resolve the issue?

This is a permission error. OSError is returned when Python can't get permissions to access, change or create a filesystem object.
Double check the permissions to make they are as you expect. Bear in mind that this is invoked by the python interpreter that comes with Splunk and can sometimes throw some wobblers with permissions errors like this.
