Unable to connect to service on rstudio server on debian

RStudio IDE

I just set up a debian server on linode. I want to run rstudio server but I am getting an error telling me that it can not connect to service. After running systmctl status rstudio-server i get this error:

ERROR system error 13 (Permission denied) [path: /home/user/.local/share/rstudio, target-dir: ]; OCCURRED AT rstudio::core::Error rstudio::core::FilePath::createDirectory(const string&) const src/cpp/shared_core/FilePath.cpp:838; LOGGED FROM: int main(int, char* const*) src/cpp/session/SessionMain.cpp:2020

I tried following this instructions without any success, what can I do?

I would check if your user has access to the folder (or if the folder event exists):/home/user/.local/share/rstudio. Try creating it manually using mkdir -p /home/user/.local/share/rstudio on the shell. If it fails then you might have a permissions issue that needs to be solved on the filesystem.

Also check if you need to run the systemctl start command as sudo.

Thanks! Now I'm getting error during transmission on my server. The output of systemctl status is:

ERROR system error 9 (Bad file descriptor); OCCURRED AT rstudio::core::Error rstudio::core::system::user::socketPeerIdentity(int, rstudio::core::system::user::UserIdentity*) src/cpp/core/system/PosixUser.cpp:58; LOGGED FROM: virtual bool rstudio::session::LocalStreamHttpConnectionListener::validateConnection(rstudio_boost::shared_ptr<rstudio::session::HttpConnectionImpl<rstudio_boost::asio::local::stream_protocol> >) src/cpp/session/http/SessionPosixHttpConnectionListener.cpp:89

Hmmm, that doesn’t seem right.

Are you running the rstudio server process as root? To me, I usually get this when I don’t run as root and have the wrong permissions.

If you could provide the exact shell commands and otuput you are running it will be helpful.

Yes, I am root. I tried removing and reinstalling it and am still getting the same error.
