I'm trying to setup OpsCenter by adding my localhost Cassandra node (for testing). The login credentials I used for SSH has sudo/root rights, nevertheless I get the error:

scp: /tmp/tmpXInRfq: Permission denied

I can understand that SCP protocol (which is apparently used in OpsCenter) can't do such thing like executing a 'su' command. But what do I wrong?

What do I wrong?

Thanks in advance!

  • Installing DataStax Enterprise does work (which creates a separate user/group called 'cassandra'). It also installs a datastax agent, Cassandra itself, DevCenter (for developing) and OpsCenter for visual monitoring the cluster. But still I don't know why the installation failed using the Community version (a.k.a. Cassandra cluster) instead of Enterprise Cluster? – Melroy van den Berg Aug 09 '14 at 10:23
  • FYI: As somebody said on IRC my /tmp is probably mounted without 'exec' permissions. – Melroy van den Berg Aug 09 '14 at 14:47

OpsCenter uses a temp file on the OpsCenter machine itself to facilitate ssh. So rather than being a problem with the login credentials not having sudo rights, I believe it may actually be that the user running OpsCenter does not have permissions to create tmp files at: /tmp/tmpXInRfq On the machine running OpsCenter. Can you confirm if the user running OpsCenter can touch a file in that location?

Thanks.
