Icinga vSphereDB does not start correctly

Hello everyone,

I am trying to get my Icinga vSphereDB daemon to work, but it is not working. I only see the following output: (–trace --debug)

Changing the user in the systemd file to root now the daemon is running without any problems. But I’ld prefer running this as icingavspheredb user.

Can you help me?

I thought I had already checked all the file permissions, but one were missing. Thanks for the reminder:

ls -lha /etc/icingaweb2/modules/
Before:

drwxrwS--- 2 www-data icingaweb2 4.0K Nov 28 16:03 vspheredb/

After:

drwxrws--- 2 www-data icingaweb2 4.0K Nov 28 16:03 vspheredb/

It is the change from the capital S to the small s. Here is the correct chmod 2770

and ls -lha /etc/icingaweb2/ with a small s

drwxrws---  2 www-data icingaweb2 4.0K Nov 28 11:12 enabledModules/

@tgelf Maybe you could put an error message in there if it can’t read the configuration.
