Failed to set up Icinga Web 2 - Check the permissions for the enabledModules directory

Icinga Web 2
#1

I’m installing Icinga2 with Icinga Web2 from using the Icinga2/Icinga Web 2 repository, and also I’ve installed/configured the Director from GIT repository on a Red Hat 7.6 prior to executing the web setup.

But the web setup is failing with the following error:

icinga2_setup_error

I fixed it!

For some reason, the permissions for the enabledModules directory (/etc/icingaweb2/enabledModules) were pointing to a symbolic link with a different set of permissions.

I fixed it by executing:

$ chown -R apache /etc/icingaweb2/
