在mac os x上运行cf命令时获取权限被拒绝错误

Question

I have installed Cloud Foundry CLI package on my Mac OS X Yosemite. From the terminal interface when I type cf command, I get the following error

FAILED
Error read/writing config:  open /Users/viyer/.cf/config.json: permission denied

How do I fix this? I can't find the file config.json .

Answer 1

I found that removing the .cf directory then running the cf cli fixed it

sudo rm -r ~/.cf
cf -h

Answer 2

That was a bit weird, but I solved it by assigning 777 permission to the folder and config.json.

So, sudo chmod 777 .cf/config.json resolved the problem in my case.

Give it a try!

Cheers!

Answer 3

By default, the cf CLI will try to create and write to a directory named .cf in the user's home directory (ie ~/.cf ). For some reason the user on your machine doesn't have permissions to create and/or write to that directory.

You can work around this problem by setting the CF_HOME environment variable to another directory that the user does have permissions in.

Answer 4

Unfortunately, no amount of changing permissions on my El Capitan would enable cf to access the config.json file in the .cf folder. I created a new folder in my home space ("CLI") and ensured it had the right permissions and set CF_HOME to point to "~/CLI/" . Just creating the new CF_HOME folder and setting CF_HOME in my .bash.profile was insufficient. I then copied the contents of the .cf folder into my new CLI folder. Finally! cf is working!

Oh, this is interesting. CF on this version of OSX will only run from the home directory, it won't run (it won't find config.json) from anything other than root.

Answer 5

Try this command: sudo chmod -R 777 /Users/{username}/.cf

It worked for me on OS X El Capitan.

Answer 6

The config.json need to have read and write permissions, in my case the .cf folder has root as owner and staff as group, my user on my Mac Yosemite is part of the group staff, but still the config.json file has permission set to 600 to fix this problem you should do:

sudo chmod 666 /User/YourUser/.cf/config.json

Also check the permissions of the .cf folder and check if you can read and write. Do something like this: sudo chmod 755 /User/YourUser/.cf

Answer 7

Delete all the .cf folders from your system and try again. This is something which @broomyocymru has already mentioned above. But still felt this might help users who might not be familiar with shell commands
