After upgrade to Graylog 7.1.0 following error occurs on startup:

2. Describe your environment:

  • OS Information: Archlinux

  • Package Version: Graylog Community 7.1.0

  • Service logs, configurations, and environment variables: (See error)

3. What steps have you already taken to try and solve the problem?

This is a version problem, I think?

Thank you in advance!
Klaus.

Hey @Klaus,

At what point during the startup is this thrown, what are the log lines proceeding the failure?

Is wherever you have defined as the java tmp folder for Graylog (/tmp by default) currently noexec?

First of all, thank you for your help!

Hi,

under Archlinux - the folder permissions must be set!

  1. chown -R graylog:graylog /etc/graylog/server/server.conf
  2. chown -R graylog:graylog /usr/lib/graylog
  3. chown -R graylog:graylog /var/lib/private/graylog

Restart, and it works!

Greetings
Klaus.
