Solved Failed to Open Stream: Permission Denied

I am running my server off of a Linux VPS. The full details are listed in the crashdump linked below. I used to run my server off of root but then decided to expand and make separate servers for separate games/gameplay options. I downloaded the world and the plugin .phars that I was using and then completely wiped the VPS. I created the new users, uploaded my files, and decided to test it all by joining and received this error:​

Code:

[23:15:00] [Server thread/CRITICAL]: ErrorException: "fopen(/home/spawn/worlds/Waldheim/region/r.0.0.mca): failed to open stream: Permission denied" (EXCEPTION) in "src/pocketmine/level/format/io/region/RegionLoader" at line 73
[23:15:00] [RakLibServer thread/NOTICE]: Blocked ***.***.***.*** for 5 seconds

My MCPE kept trying to load it for another 2 minutes until the server crashed. I do not have the console error but here is the crashdump: https://crash.pmmp.io/view/2490

If any of you need any more information to help better analyse the error/crash then please just ask.
(Sorry again for my many questions that I am just not smart enough to figure out the answer)

 

UPDATE: I started the server when posting this thread and I have the console error because it crashed again after a join attempt:

Code:

[23:18:05] [Server thread/CRITICAL]: ErrorException: "file_put_contents(/home/spawn/worlds/Waldheim/level.dat): failed to open stream: Permission denied" (EXCEPTION) in "src/pocketmine/level/format/io/BaseLevelProvider" at line 130

Now I have 2 crashdumps.... whoops

 

Bruh... Please use code tags.
Clearly it says that read/write permission is denied. To fix this use `chmod`:

PHP:

$ cd /your/server/path
$ sudo chmod 777 ./


 

Fixed

 

Tried what you said and now I have this crashdump:
https://crash.pmmp.io/view/2492

 

Try to generate a new world.

 

A new world works, it is just that one world that does not work

 

You probably need to set the folder permission recursively.

 

open up an SSH session to your VPS and chmod the worlds folder recursively:

Code:

sudo chmod -R 777 ./path/to/worlds/from/current/directory

 

I have seen a little checkbox like that on my File Manager, I checked it and it appears to be working now. Thank you! @Jack Noordhuis and @Muqsit

 

Okay, now I can actually join the world but after joining (Maybe 2-5 minutes later) it crashes and according to chrash.pmmmp.io I am not the only one experiencing this issue:

Here is the crashdump: https://crash.pmmp.io/view/2504

 

And it is broken yet again, now I have this error:

Code:

[15:01:25] [Server thread/CRITICAL]: TypeError: "fseek() expects parameter 1 to be resource, null given" (EXCEPTION) in "src/pocketmine/level/format/io/region/RegionLoader" at line 108
[15:01:25] [Server thread/INFO]: Unloading level "world"
[15:01:25] [Server thread/INFO]: Unloading level "Waldheim"
Killed

https://crash.pmmp.io/view/2506

 

You still have permission problems. Try applying permission recursively as above indicated.

 

Is this correct?

Code:

sudo chmod -R 777 ./home/spawn/worlds/

 

this is correct for your worlds, but you might also want to simply do it on the whole server to finally get rid of all problems.

 

I am assuming that it would be:

Code:

sudo chmod -R 777 /home/

(/home is where my servers are located)

 

well, you better do it for all your individual servers and not for your whole home server
e.g.:

Code:

sudo chmod -R 777 ./home/spawn/
sudo chmod -R 777 ./home/someotherserver/

 

Oh well, I did it already :I Working fine so far!

 

Do you get any errors running it as root or a user from the sudoers?
