Traccar 6.9.0 fails to start

renaud4 days ago

Hello,

I have just upgraded traccar to 6.9.0 and I have this:

2025-08-20 09:01:44 ERROR: Main method error - /usr/local/share/traccar/./override - AccessDeniedException (... < WebServer:140 < *:95 < MainModule:202 < <gener:-1 < *:-1 < ... < Main:125 < ...)

So traccar process dies.

I don't think it's a good idea for traccar to have permissions to write into its main folder. Maybe a subdirectory with correct permissions could be created, but giving traccar the right to write in the main dir is probably not a good idea.

I believe you can just create that folder yourself.

Do you mean it's trying to create a folder called "override"? I thought this was a normal file.

Folder.

OK, thanks, I modified it to be a symlink in the db directory as no normal user should write to /usr/local. The OpenBSD port has been submitted.

Juliet Tee your comment is completely off-topic here. It's a very different issue.
