Cannot access WebUI

Help
1

I’m having an issue with my LibreNMS instance - The biggest issue is that I didn’t set it up and I know nothing about it at all, aside from the root PW.

That being said, I can’t access the webUI on any browser (latest Chrome, FF). I keep getting the message:

Error: bootstrap/cache, storage, storage/framework/sessions, storage/framework/views, storage/framework/cache not writable! Run these commands as root on your LibreNMS server to fix:

chown -R librenms:librenms /opt/librenms/bootstrap/cache /opt/librenms/storage /opt/librenms/storage/framework/sessions /opt/librenms/storage/framework/views /opt/librenms/storage/framework/cache

setfacl -R -m g::rwx /opt/librenms/bootstrap/cache /opt/librenms/storage /opt/librenms/storage/framework/sessions /opt/librenms/storage/framework/views /opt/librenms/storage/framework/cache

setfacl -d -m g::rwx /opt/librenms/bootstrap/cache /opt/librenms/storage /opt/librenms/storage/framework/sessions /opt/librenms/storage/framework/views /opt/librenms/storage/framework/cache

I upgrade the system it’s running on (yum update), rebooted, then I ran all of those, commands. Rebooted and still isn’t working.

I ran ./validate.php and got the following.

I’m a little hesitant to run random things in the event something breaks because like I said, I didn’t set it up and the guy who did doesn’t work here anymore (and isn’t giving a lot of assistance). It’s running on a CentOS 7

run the commands its asking you to do.

We found many users needed to update their selinux contexts.

Fixed for me. Not sure what happened - It was working fine, then came in one day and couldn’t access.

Yeah they did an update that broke it for a bunch of people (me included lol).

It was intentional, as we added some new capabilities. Was hoping the messages displayed in the web browser would be enough, but we found many people needed mbstring and have odd issues with their installs (like multiple PHP versions).

See the notice for the upcoming stable release New Requirements for 1.40
