Tableau Server is degraded and no users are able to login. Repository shows in Error state. Backgrounder shows status unavailable from the output of the "tsm status -v" command and shows in Error state in the TSM UI.
Additionally, the following is present in the pgsql spawn.log:
FATAL: data directory "/var/opt/tableau/tableau_server/data/tabsvc/pgsql/data" has group or world access DETAIL: Permissions should be u=rwx (0700).
tsm configuration get -k data.dir
sudo chmod +R 700 <directory>
sudo chmod +R 700 /var/opt/tableau/tableau_server/data/tabsvc/pgsql/data
To check the permissions on the directory, run
tsm configuration get -k data.dir
sudo ls -al <directory>
You should see the following in the output:
drwx------. 19 tableau tableau 4096 Jan 24 16:38 data
If the permissions string to the left is not "drwx------", then the permissions are not correct.
