Setup script has no output

Seafile Server
1

Hi,

I am lost here, any idea is welcome. I try to install the seafile server according to the installation manual, but I get no output when I try to run the setup script:

(python-venv) seafile@flo:/home/flo/seafile/seafile-pro-server-11.0.15$ ./setup-seafile-mysql.sh
(python-venv) seafile@flo:/home/flo/seafile/seafile-pro-server-11.0.15$

I also tried to run the py file directly:

(python-venv) seafile@flo:/home/flo/seafile/seafile-pro-server-11.0.15$ python3 setup-seafile-mysql.py
python3: can’t open file ‘/home/flo/seafile/seafile-pro-server-11.0.15/setup-seafile-mysql.py’: [Errno 13] Permission denied

I think my permissions are OK, at least regarding the installation files:

(python-venv) seafile@flo:/home/flo/seafile/seafile-pro-server-11.0.15$ ls -la

The permissions on the files look ok, so I am not sure where the “permission denied” is coming from. Maybe it is from selinux or a similar security hardening system that is preventing the seafile user from running programs from within their own home directory. Or maybe that /home is mounted with the noexec option to prevent running programs from that filesystem.

What linux distribution is this? And have you tried installing in /opt or another location like that?

This is a fresh Ubuntu 24.10 installation, nothing fancy. But interestingly in /opt/seafile the script works, so it seems there is a difference compared to the user home directory.
