Problem
You may often see an error on Posit Package Manager where you see an error message similar to the below:
ERROR system error 2 (No such file or directory) [path: /var/lib/rstudio-pm/path/to/directory/secure-cookie-key];
Solution
It's possible to run into this error when your server has not found a secure cookie key. To resolve this, you can perform the following:
Generate a new secure cookie key by running the command below:
sudo sh -c "echo `uuid` > /var/lib/rstudio-pm/path/to/directory/secure-cookie-key" Where /var/lib/rstudio-pm/path/to/directory/secure-cookie-key is the path in the error message that is displayed in the Package Manager log file.
Then, change the ownership to the package manager service account:
sudo chown -R rstudio-pm:rstudio-pm /var/lib/rstudio-pmNote that if you've changed the RunAs user, you will need to change ownership to the Service.User that you've set as per the following guide:
https://docs.rstudio.com/rspm/admin/appendix/changing-runas-user/
From there, ensure that it's only readable by root:
sudo chmod 0600 /var/lib/rstudio-pm/path/to/directory/secure-cookie-key
Lastly, restart the package manager service:
sudo systemctl restart rstudio-pm
