Error: EventSystem: problem writing file:

Post by feliw124 »

Hello everyone, I am having problem when trying to save to dzVents code, the log page says Error: EventSystem: problem writing file:. I read online that this problem comes when you dont have the generated_scripts directory, the problem is that I do have that folder. I tried to erasing it and making it again and still nothing. Does someone Know how to fix my problem?
exact error message: EventSystem: problem writing file: C:\Program Files (x86)\Domoticz\scripts\dzVents\generated_scripts\Script #1.lua

Is Domoticz running with Elevated rights so it is allowed to write something in the directory?

Are you running Domoticz in a Docker?

Yes, I am sorry. At first I thought that dzVent was not working but then I found out that files were not even saving.

In Windows you can run the application as administrator. That solved the problem in Windows, but how to do the same in Synology 7.1 ?
So, its a matter of privileges. I know how to log in as root, but i don't know how and where to set privileges to domoticz.

in windows setting the permissions to full control of the directory generated_scripts works for me.
go to C:\Program Files (x86)\Domoticz\scripts\dzVents
right click on generated_scripts
choose properties
choose security
click on edit
choose users
check full control

In windows I can solve the problem, but I have the same problem with domoticz on Synology .
can't write to /volume1/@appdata/domoticz/scripts/dzVents/generated_scripts/

setting permission chmod 777 generated_scripts doesn't work.

Do the same with directory data

I have a similar problem. Since two weeks I am running Domoticz in Qnap Container Station.
I get the following error:
Error: EventSystem: problem writing file: /opt/domoticz/userdata/scripts/dzVents/generated_scripts/Hue syncen met Domoticz.lua

Any idea how I should solve this?

Also, I am struggling with the Docker term “Entrypoint”. While installing the container I leave the Entrypoint field empty as I don’t know what to fill in. Despite this, Domoticz runs fine on my Qnap NAS. Should I specify an Entrypoint?
Could the error be related to the fact that I didn’t specify an Entrypoint?

Qnap entrypoint is possibly volume mount path as described in https://hub.docker.com/r/domoticz/domoticz ?

The only line I see in this article which mentions a mount point is this one: /etc/localtime

I meant this line
-v <path for config files>:/opt/domoticz/userdata

<path for config files> has to be replaced to a path on your Qnap disk.
Perhaps also check the synology docker installation and find the synonyms for Qnap terms https://www.domoticz.com/wiki/Synology

  • I had this problem in docker when I upgraded to version 2023.1.
  • The old version of domoticz saved the scripts in /opt/domoticz/userdata/_data..... the new version in /opt/domoticz/userdata .
  • So in the volume we are going to retrieve or create , we have to recreate or copy the /scripts folder with all the subdirectories.
Below is my retrieved volume with the scripts moved
