Assets cache directory is not writable.

[wifi75]

Hello on my server centos after last zabbix server update, isn't to possbile login...
what can I do?

[edwardcc]

Same problem here, ubuntu 1804, and rpi
updating from 4.0.7 to 4.0.8

using google the only thing I can find is

https://www.zabbix.com/documentation/4.2/manual/installation/install

which says
"Since Zabbix 4.2.2, write permissions to the assets directory are required for the web server user."

I can find the file is added here

https://git.zabbix.com/projects/ZBX/repos/zabbix/browse/frontends/php/cachewarning.php

Same here!
Two CentOS 7 updated to 4.0.8-1 both have the same problem.
Insufficient file system permissions.

• Assets cache directory is not writable.

Did the trick for me:
sudo chmod -R 777 /usr/share/zabbix/assets

Did the trick for me:
sudo chmod -R 777 /usr/share/zabbix/assets

777 is not ideal for just about anything. Change the ownership of the directory to the frontend and leave it at 755. Debian would be www-data

chown www-data:www-data /usr/share/zabbix/assets

Did the trick for me:
sudo chmod -R 777 /usr/share/zabbix/assets

That worked for me, but now I'm having an issue where none of the fonts are showing up with the graphs. It seems that I might be missing some assets after upgrading, but not sure. This was upgraded via RPM on Centos 7. Downgrading to 4.0.7 resolves issue, but something is wrong with 4.0.8.

I have the same issue with that graphs. I had to downgrade from 4.2.2 to 4.2.1.

Did the trick for me:
sudo chmod -R 777 /usr/share/zabbix/assets

Only Change

/usr/share/zabbix/assets

before:

$ ls -ld /usr/share/zabbix/assets
drwxr-xr-x 6 root root 55 May 29 13:45 /usr/share/zabbix/assets
$ ls -ld /usr/share/zabbix/assets/*
drwxr-xr-x 2 root   root      6 May 28 18:27 /usr/share/zabbix/assets/fonts
drwxr-xr-x 2 root   root   4096 May 29 13:44 /usr/share/zabbix/assets/img
drwxr-xr-x 2 root   root     85 May 29 13:44 /usr/share/zabbix/assets/styles

after:

sudo chmod 777 /usr/share/zabbix/assets

$ ls -ld /usr/share/zabbix/assets
drwxrwxrwx 6 root root 55 May 29 13:45 /usr/share/zabbix/assets
$ ls -ld /usr/share/zabbix/assets/*
drwxr-xr-x 4 apache apache   29 May 29 13:45 /usr/share/zabbix/assets/10am2h0 #<- add write from apache
drwxr-xr-x 2 root   root      6 May 28 18:27 /usr/share/zabbix/assets/fonts
drwxr-xr-x 2 root   root   4096 May 29 13:44 /usr/share/zabbix/assets/img
drwxr-xr-x 2 root   root     85 May 29 13:44 /usr/share/zabbix/assets/styles

because:

• after zabbix-web 4.0.8
• CentOS7 + zabbix + httpd
• add CAssetsFileCache.php - https://git.zabbix.com/projects/ZBX/...66ea063bbc1930

My server it is Centos 7
that line to send by terminal are valid?

[kosmas]

Hi wifi75, the command is valid, but it is not security wise to change the permissions of a directory to 777.
I have temporarily used this workaround until there is a better and more secure solution.

[Husnu Demir]

Hi,


cd /usr/share/zabbix/
chown -R www-data:www-data assets/

This would be more secure. Apache2 works with www-data user.

Hi,


cd /usr/share/zabbix/
chown -R www-data:www-data assets/

This would be more secure. Apache2 works with www-data user.

Hello, that option is not working for me.
I have zabbix on ubuntu and still I don't have fonts for my monitors.

What I have to do to fix it?

[Pioxis]

Fonts for me now working. Folder /assets/fonts was empty and I copied there default font from /zabbix/fonts.

[wifi75]

Hi,


cd /usr/share/zabbix/
chown -R www-data:www-data assets/

This would be more secure. Apache2 works with www-data user.

hdemir.

not work see below:

[Husnu Demir]

OK. I have been using Debian and my apache servers user is www-data. U should use your web user. I found my user like that;


# ps -ef | grep apache2
root 13905 1 0 May28 ? 00:00:00 /usr/sbin/apache2 -k start
www-data 32975 13905 0 06:25 ? 00:00:03 /usr/sbin/apache2 -k start


There may be other ways. Change the username with "www-data:www-data"

I am currently running CentOS 7, Zabbix updated these four packages last night and no longer able to access the log in page as i see the same error message above.

May 29 03:24:38 Updated: zabbix-web-mysql.noarch 4.0.8-1.el7
May 29 03:24:40 Updated: zabbix-web.noarch 4.0.8-1.el7
May 29 03:24:41 Updated: zabbix-server-mysql.x86_64 4.0.8-1.el7
May 29 03:24:41 Updated: zabbix-agent.x86_64 4.0.8-1.el7


I have tried changing the permissions to 777 and changing the owner to apache but this makes no difference for my setup.

What permissions are shown with ls- la /usr/share/zabbix/ ?
