Netbox Service not Starting

[davez12]

Hello,

I am following the installation guidelines and got stuck on 4a. as the netbox service is not running. Upon searching the logs it shows Permission denied.

Feb 20 16:27:37 abc123 systemd[30064]: netbox.service: Changing to the requested working directory failed: Permission denied Feb 20 16:27:37 abc123 systemd[30064]: netbox.service: Failed at step CHDIR spawning /opt/netbox/venv/bin/gunicorn: Permission denied Feb 20 16:27:37 abc123 systemd[1]: netbox.service: Main process exited, code=exited, status=200/CHDIR Feb 20 16:27:37 abc123 systemd[1]: netbox.service: Failed with result 'exit-code'.

Managed to resolved it by modifying the permision

chmod -R 777 /opt/netbox/venv/bin/gunicorn
