(Permission denied) errors when installing "XWiki Standard Flavor"

Help / Discuss
#1

I set here: /usr/lib/xwiki/WEB-INF/xwiki.properties such properties:

extension.repositories = local: maven: file: // $ { sys: user . home } /.m2/rep$
extension.repositories = maven-xwiki: maven: http: //nexus.xwiki.org/nexus/cont$
extension.repositories = extensions.xwiki.org: xwiki: http: // extensions.xwiki$

Earlier the “XWiki Standard Flavor” was not available in the manager.

But now when I try to install “XWiki Standard Flavor” I get two errors:

/var/lib/xwiki/data/extension/repository/org%2Exwiki%2Eplatform%3Axwiki-platform-attachment-ui/11%2E10/org%2Exwiki%2Eplatform%3Axwiki-platform-attachment-ui-11%2E10.xed (Permission denied)
/var/lib/xwiki/data/extension/repository/org%2Exwiki%2Eplatform%3Axwiki-platform-attachment-ui/11%2E10/org%2Exwiki%2Eplatform%3Axwiki-platform-attachment-ui-11%2E10.xed (Permission denied)

How can I fix this?

Envinronment:

  • debian
  • XWiki Standard Flavor 11.10
  • xwiki-tomcat8-mysql

Make sure whatever user who runs Tomcat (for example tomcat8 for Tomcat 8 or tomcat for Tomcat 9) has write access to those files. The error you got is when XWiki try to update the install status of those extension (and it’s writing this in the xed file).
