DB connect permissions issue

[becksyboy]

Hi,

we have started to get the following errors on what was a working version of DB connect v 3.4.2. Would appreciate any help figuring out how to resolve this.

Unable to initialize modular input "server" defined in the app "splunk_app_db_connect": Introspecting scheme=server: Unable to run "/opt/splunk/etc/apps/splunk_app_db_connect/linux_x86_64/bin/server.sh --scheme": child failed to start: Permission denied.

thanks

Thanks, yep Splunk was running under the expected account. Compared the permissions for splunk_app_db_connect/linux_x86_64/bin against another working version and they were different. changed it to 700 and seems to have come back working fine.

Check that Splunk is still running under the expected user account and that etc/apps/splunk_app_db_connect file ownership and permissions have not changed.
