Error Message:
[ERROR] [MY-013276] [Server] Failed to set datadir to '<veridata_installation_dir>/mysql-commercial-*.*.**-linux-glibc2.17-x86_64-minimal/data/'
(OS errno: 13 - Permission denied)
Troubleshooting Options
- Check Directory Permissions:
- Run the following command to check access permissions (Note:
"/ogg/app/oracle/veridata/23
is an example path of<veridata_installation_dir>
):ls -ld /ogg /ogg/app /ogg/app/oracle /ogg/app/oracle/veridata /ogg/app/oracle/veridata/23 /ogg/app/oracle/veridata/23/mysql-commercial-*.*.**-linux-glibc2.17-x86_64-minimal
- If any parent directories lack the x (execute) permission, then
vdtrepouser
is unable to access the data directory.
- Run the following command to check access permissions (Note:
- Verify SELinux Policy:
- Switch to the root user.
- Navigate to:
<veridata_installation_dir>/mysql-commercial-*.*.**-linux-glibc2.17-x86_64-minimal/bin
- Run the command:
ls -lt ../data
- If the directory permission output does not include a trailing
"." (for example,
drwxr-x---.
), then SELinux is not the issue. Otherwise, setSELinux
to Permissive or Disabled mode.
