| Summary | 0003943: loadmodule permission denied errors on windows | ||||
| Description | It seems we frequently get users with 'Permission denied' problems in the support channel, and sometimes on the forums. However, there has never been a bugreport about it. I wonder what's causing these errors, and if we can do something about it to prevent them... either in the installer or in Unreal. It seems to happen more often than before, when I thought it was just someone incorrectly CACLS'ing or whatever their c:\program files, it seems to be a more general issue now... I've never experienced the issue myself (XP), so any advice on how to reproduce it would be nice. Stealth, or anyone else? :P | ||||
| Additional Information | It's not my idea to add issues this late for release, but if this could be fixed for 3.2.9 it would be nice, it seems like a real issue.. but I don't know how big it is or how easy or hard to fix... | ||||

Unreal installer want admin rights for setup. http://a.imageshack.us/img26/499/unrealwarn01.png Cannot run makecert.bat after install under user http://a.imageshack.us/img90/3699/unrealwarn04.png Only if I give admin rights for me through Properties - Security to whole folder Unreal 3.2 it give to me write/read files and run unreal just starting wircd.exe If I check "install as service", service is installed, but makecert.bat have the same problem. I need to open "cmd" as admin and start makecert.bat in Unreal3.2 dir. I don't see loadmodule error in my Win 7 (x64). |

Since i have UnrealIRCd on Win7 i didn't notice a error when i loaded a 3rd party module or something else... |

Hey, The reason a error like: Unable to create file 'tmp/10D9D743.commands.dll': Permission denied shows up is because as a normal user we do not have the ability in Windows 7/vista to write to Program Files folder where Unreal folder is located and where tmp folder is created. I think in future, the tmp files should be created in %AppData% added a simple patch (just as a idea, would need to fix other tmp directives to match with this if its okay to do something like this.) |
|
|
Actually, looking at the installation script, it would probably be easier to do something like, [Dirs] Name: "{app}\tmp\"; Permissions: everyone-modify Which will basically set the permissions on creation and this indeed does work and is a very easy fix. |

Thanks for tracing this. I've made a new installer: http://www.vulnscan.org/tmp/Unreal3.2.8.1-ssl-permtest.exe This one sets permissions of the Unreal3.2 directory (and it's children) to be writable by the user running the install. The user can still decide not to do this, as it's a checkbox item (and is checked by default). It does this right after installing the files, so before makecert is run. I decided to go this way, because setting it to everyone sounds a bit overkill, and 'simply' moving tmp to the profile isn't an option either as you then still have problems with ircd.log, ircd.tune, and any other files (think: 3rd party modules) that need to be writable/creatable. <offtopic>It also prevents trying to both install as a service and encrypt the certificate.</offtopic> If anyone who normally experiences this problem with UnrealIRCd under windows could test it with this installer, that would be nice :) |

Added in CVS .894, but like I said, I will need confirmation before marking this issue as resolved: - Win32 installer: Make it so a user can no longer accidentally check both 'install as service' and 'encrypt SSL certificate', as they are incompatible (a service cannot ask a user to enter a password). - Win32 installer: Fixed long outstanding problem with some Vista / Windows 7 installations, which has to do with file permissions of the Unreal3.2 folder. Symptoms were error messages such as: Unable to create file 'tmp/10D9D743.commands.dll': Permission denied But also failing to create SSL certificates, nothing being logged, etc. This is now fixed by setting write access on the Unreal3.2 folder to the user running the install, unless the user chooses not to use this new option (it can be unchecked), in which case the user is warned that he should take care of this himself. Reported by various persons, special thanks to Bock and goldenwolf for helping us to track down this issue (0003943). |

Bock, 'Unreal installer want admin rights for setup' will still be the case (this is correct), but the 'Cannot run makecert.bat after install under user' should be fixed. |
