Upgraded Moodle on Azure and now can't update plugins ([Error] Write access check [/bitnami/moodle/blocks] Installation

Moodle

Description:
Upgraded Moodle from 3.10 to 3.10.1 following approach A here - https://docs.bitnami.com/general/apps/moodle/administration/upgrade/

This folder path here (/bitnami/moodle/blocks) seems to be the issue with blocks,local,mod all being an issue.

Linux is not my strong point and I’m guessing it’s a permission set somewhere that needs changing. Any help would be appreciated !

Hi @tom.moon

Thanks for using Bitnami Moodle and running the bnsupport-tool!

Could you please execute the following commands and share their outputs? It is high-likely a permissions issue :slightly_smiling_face:, but let’s confirm that

$ ls -la /opt/bitnami/moodle/
$ ls -la /opt/bitnami/moodle/blocks/

Best regards,

Hi @tom.moon

Could you please execute the following commands to set the correct permissions (as the guide mentions)?:

Configure file permissions as follows:

sudo chown daemon:daemon -R /opt/bitnami/moodle
sudo chmod -R g+rwX /opt/bitnami/moodle
sudo chown root /opt/bitnami/moodle/config.php
sudo chmod 640 /opt/bitnami/moodle/config.php

Hi Jose

I did run those commands before and have done it again but am still getting the error below when I try to update a plugin:

Install plugin from ZIP file
Debugging output enabled
ZIP /bitnami/moodledata/temp/tool_installaddon/600803469d9bf/plugin.zip

Okay, let’s verify if the commands are executed properly.

  1. Execute the commands configuring file permissions:
sudo chown daemon:daemon -R /opt/bitnami/moodle
sudo chmod -R g+rwX /opt/bitnami/moodle
sudo chown root /opt/bitnami/moodle/config.php
sudo chmod 640 /opt/bitnami/moodle/config.php
  1. Execute the following commands to assert file permissions were configured properly:
ls -la /opt/bitnami/moodle/
ls -la /opt/bitnami/moodle/blocks/

Could you please execute the flow and provide me with the output? Thanks

Best regards,
Jose Antonio Carmona

Hi @tom.moon

Okay, so it seems the ownerships and permissions are not taking effect because the /opt/bitnami/moodle is a symbolic link to /bitnami/moodle. Could you please try the following commands instead?

  1. Execute the commands configuring file permissions (notice the -LR option in chown):
sudo chown daemon:daemon -LR /opt/bitnami/moodle
sudo chmod -R g+rwX /opt/bitnami/moodle
sudo chown root /opt/bitnami/moodle/config.php
sudo chmod 640 /opt/bitnami/moodle/config.php
  1. Execute the following commands to assert file permissions were configured properly:
ls -la /opt/bitnami/moodle/
ls -la /opt/bitnami/moodle/blocks/

They should look something like this now:

$ ls -la /opt/bitnami/moodle/ | head
total 1064
drwxrwxr-x 57 daemon daemon   4096 Jan 21 10:42 .
drwxr-xr-x  7 root   root     4096 Jan 21 10:37 ..
drwxrwxr-x 13 daemon daemon   4096 Jan 16 15:58 admin
drwxrwxr-x  5 daemon daemon   4096 Jan 16 15:58 analytics

drwxrwxr-x  8 daemon daemon   4096 Jan 16 15:58 badges

...

$ ls -la /opt/bitnami/moodle/blocks/ | head
total 244
drwxrwxr-x 47 daemon daemon  4096 Jan 16 15:58 .
drwxrwxr-x 57 daemon daemon  4096 Jan 21 10:42 ..
drwxrwxr-x  6 daemon daemon  4096 Jan 16 15:58 activity_modules
drwxrwxr-x  7 daemon daemon  4096 Jan 16 15:58 activity_results
drwxrwxr-x  6 daemon daemon  4096 Jan 16 15:58 admin_bookmarks

drwxrwxr-x  6 daemon daemon  4096 Jan 16 15:58 blog_tags

Notice the 3rd & 4th column (daemon daemon)

Could you please give it a try? I will notify the documentation team about this :slightly_smiling_face:
