Splunk package error

automagication

Whenever I package the splunk app, I get execute permission error because I have 744 permission for conf files but splunk expects it to be 644.

With 644 permission I cannot package the app, is there any workaround for the same.

Below is the screenshot of the error.

Even untar and tar with different permissions, will not let me package because the permissions are 644, there is no execute permission

Ubuntu on Windows is still Windows.  I had the same problem.  You have to use a real Linux box.

I'm guessing you're packaging the app on a Windows machine.  That will never work because Windows can't/won't set the file permissions correctly.  When I used to package on Windows, I would transfer the .tgz file to a Linux system, explode it, change the permissions, then re-tar it and transfer back to the Windows machine for uploading.
