Permission error

If you see the following error message, you may need to change the permissions or the owner of the directory that maps to /mnt/import_support:

{ [SequelizeConnectionError: SQLITE_CANTOPEN: unable to open database file
  at Database.connections.(anonymous function).lib.Database.err (/usr/local/wfe/import/node_modules/sequelize/lib/dialects/sqlite/connection-manager.js:61:34)
]
  name: 'SequelizeConnectionError',
  parent:

Unknown macro: { Error}
,
  original:

Unknown macro: { Error}
}

For example, if import_support is mapped to /srv/skytap, either:

  • Change the permissions for /srv/skytap to allow write access for all users:

    sudo chmod 777 /srv/skytap

    or

  • Change the owner of /srv/skytap to allow write access to the logged in user:

    chown {user account}/srv/skytap
