SteamCMD missing file permissions that it has
getting this as well, any info?
I ended up having to set a HOME env var to a folder it could write to. SteamCMD was attempting to write to the / folder which caused it to do //Steam/logs as its logs directory and failing.
It seems in some recent update whatever code that writes the logs now fatally errors out if it can't actually write them.
I am facing the same issue:
ERROR! Failed to install app '730' (Missing file permissions)
I dont get it how you solved it
It's possible you're having a different bug. When SteamCmd first runs it'll say something about redirecting errors to a directory. If that directory is one the running user cannot write to then it'll fail with missing permissions. I've got no clue why but it does.
Oh i see, i think mine is /root/Steam/logs
Yeah it reads from the HOME environment variable to set the directory so it is changeable.
I'll try to give the necessary permissions to this folder, 1 sec
Not working yet, i think you should keep this issue open because this can crash other servers not only ours
Setting the HOME environment variable solved my problem using LacledesLAN/SteamCMD.
The problem only seemed to affect usage with no TTY attached.
In my case for a Project Zomboid server running https://github.com/Danixu/project-zomboid-server-docker , to eliminate the file permissions problem on start I needed to update my Dockerfile like so:
ENV HOME "${HOMEDIR}"
ENV STEAMAPPID 380870
ENV STEAMAPP pz
ENV STEAMAPPDIR "${HOMEDIR}/${STEAMAPP}-dedicated"
The only line added was the top one where I re-used the HOMEDIR environment variable for HOME.
Nothing extracted yet.
Your system information
Please describe your issue in as much detail as possible:
When attempting to install a server through SteamCMD it fails with a
ERROR! Failed to install app '105600' (Missing file permissions)error. I've check file permissions and SteamCMD has them. This worked perfectly fine yesterday but now no longer works.Steps for reproducing this issue:
