Permissions issue when running pre deploy powershell

Legacy Uncategorised

Hello,
I am getting the following error when I am trying to deploy a windows service. I have a pre-deployment and post deployment script that are run but the pre-deployment one is erroring out due to permissions. I have granted the local service account for the tentacle permissions to the directory that it is deploying to as well as the octopus folder where the configuration files are and still no dice.

Did not overwrite ‘C:\Services\TaskEngine\Octopus.Features.WindowsService_BeforePostDeploy.ps1’, it was already on disk

Hi Cbartlett,
The scripts don’t get written to disk if they already exist, hence the Did not overwrite ..., it was already on disk error message. If it already exists though its odd that its complaining that it doesn’t have access to that file. Can you try log in and manually delete that file before running the task again. I’m wondering if it was previously created with some other credentials that the current user account no longer has access to.
Let me know if this allows the script to execute.
Cheers,
Robert

I have also - "System.UnauthorizedAccessException: Access to the path ‘C:\DFS_Deployments\UniversalWorker\Bootstrap.Octopus.Features.WindowsService_BeforePostDeploy.ps1’ is denied. …"
manually delete that file before running the task again - didn’t help. Have any more solutions for this case ?

Hi Denchyk,
Could you confirm that you also don’t have some sort of virus protection which is causing problems with writing this file. The error does explicitly complain about permissions so I’m not sure what else could be the cause. Perhaps download and take look at process monitor to see what, if anything is trying to access that file.
Cheers,
Robert

Hi,
Thanks for quick response.
I don’t have this problem any more - It sorted

I changed how I was doing things. I now have my scripts directly in the step instead of using a script module. This works every time and is much easier to maintain for an individual deployment.

Thanks!

That’s great to hear you have everything running smoothly again.
Thanks for the update.
