Hey 7 days community!

I'm running into an issue when updating my latest_experimental server. The initial install worked without issue on my Ubuntu box and has been working since the initial release of the v1 latest_experimental about a week ago. The problem I'm running into now is when I run the app_update because of the most recent patch, I'm receiving 

Steam>app_update 294420 -beta latest_experimental
ERROR! Failed to install app '294420' (Missing file permissions)

The sequence of commands used for the installation is as follows:
./steamcmd.sh
force_install_dir ./7days
login anonymous
app_update 294420 -beta latest_experimental

Things I've attempted to do to remedy the issue.

  • Attempted the installation as root
  • Removed the 7days folder completely



Any help would be greatly appreciate.

Thank you in advance

 
Try to use an absolute path with the force_install_dir command. If that doesn't work please post the output of  "ls -al /your/path/"  and "df -h /your/path"

Thank you meganoth, that appears to have done the trick. I haven't had to do that historically but for whatever reason, it fixed the issue. Thank you
