Problem
On a fresh installation of Posit Connect, you may see an error similar to the following:
Error: Unable to run an executable program as 'rstudio-connect' within the Server.TempDir='/tmp'; this directory may be mounted 'noexec': Unable to run validator /tmp/tempdir-validator-00000 as rstudio-connect: exit status 1
This error usually occurs when the /tmp directory is mounted as noexec.
Solution
First, you could start by remounting the tmp directory with the following command:
sudo mount -o remount,exec /tmpFrom there, restart Connect so that it can see these changes:
sudo systemctl restart rstudio-connect
Alternative Solution
Failing the above, you will need to adjust the TMP directory Connect uses:
https://docs.posit.co/connect/admin/process-management/#temp-directory
For example, with this addition below to your /etc/rstudio-connect/rstudio-connect.gcfg configuration file in the [Server] section:
;/etc/rstudio-connect/rstudio-connect.gcfg
[Server]
TempDir = /rstudio-connect-tmp/
RStudio Connect will now use this directory below instead of/tmp:
TempDir = /rstudio-connect-tmp/
With that change, you'll also need to make the directory specified and allow access:
mkdir /rstudio-connect-tmp/chmod 1777 /rstudio-connect-tmp/
Once complete, a restart of the Connect service is needed:
sudo systemctl restart rstudio-connectSupport Ticket
