Package: ganglia-webfrontend
Version: 3.7.5+debian-3
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
There are two errors in setting up ganglia due to incorrect
file permissions. I've removed the package, checked that
the files were gone. After new installation the permissions
were again wrong.
1. In a host view click on the "+" above one of the graphs.
Select "default" as the view to add the graph to.
I get the following message:
Alert: Can't write to file: "/var/lib/ganglia-web/conf/view_default.json".
Perhaps permissions are wrong.
The file is not updated.
2. In the "Events" tab press "Add event". Fill in the fields and
after pressing "Add" I get the message:
{"status":"error","message":"Can't write to
\/var\/lib\/ganglia-web\/conf\/events.json. Please check permissions."}
Ganglia-webfrontend runs as www-data, but there are files owned by root
in /var/lib/ganglia-web/conf.
root@example:/usr/share/ganglia-webfrontend# ls -l /var/lib/ganglia-web/conf/

Changing the file owner/group to www-data:www-data fixes the errors for me.
