Server not Starting
Posted by samjimmywood in discord-bots.
Hi, I'm trying to run a Node.js Discord bot on my Wispbyte server, but npm is unable to install any dependencies. The console returns: EACCES: permission denied, mkdir '/home/container/.npm' and EACCES: permission denied, mkdir '/home/container/node modules' It also reports that /home/container/.npm contains root owned files. Could you please reset/fix the ownership and permissions for /home/container so that the container user can create .npm and node modules? Thanks!

The issue persists after reverting User Uploaded Files to 0 and removing manually created folders. npm cannot create either /home/container/.npm or /home/container/node modules and returns EACCES. Please reset ownership/permissions on /home/container for the container user. The server is Node.js 24 and the startup command is the default Wispbyte Node.js startup command.
