Wireguard Manual Config failing to save (permissions)?

[zubenubi]

Hi,
I went though the manual configuration for Raspap & included wireguard as an option.
I am now trying to configure Wireguard with no joy.

The error in the UI is: 'WireGuard configuration failed to be updated'

It appears that the /etc/wireguard folder is owned by root:
drwx------ 2 root root 4096 Jan 18 18:09 wireguard

Did I miss something in the manual setup instructions ?

Thanks In Advance

This is nearly always the result of an outdated raspap.sudoers. Look for this in the manual config steps and compare what's on your device to the latest release.

The wg folder is normally owned by root.

Thanks for the hint. The step in the manual config was undertaken and the sudoers file is where it is supposed to be in /etc/sudoers.d This is a clip from the daemon log when I try to manually configure wireguard: 17:24:09 rpi systemd[1]: Started Session 71 of user pi.

What might I be missing? [snip]

OK, so I wiped and reinstalled using a freshly formatted sd card. In the quick installer I opted to install wireguard as well.

Im still unable to manually define a wireguard server. I see the same error in the log

Is there anything I can do to get this working?

thanks

I don't like saying "it works for me" but... unable to reproduce this. No issues creating a manual wg config (RPi OS 32-bit Lite / RPi 4b).
You'll need to debug on your own hardware / OS. Good luck.

[zubenubi]

So I now have an rpi 4b running the latest rpi os 32 bit lite. I went through the quick setup script today (twice). The first time I only installed Wireguard as an option. Thinking that it might be dependent on OpenVPN components, I did it again (from scratch and included openvpn as an option as well.

Neither seemed to change the outcome though.

When I opt for the manual configuration of Wireguard, I click the magic button to generate the key and then press save. The message is as before ('WireGuard configuration failed to be updated'). How can I know what the save button is attempting to do (in order to debug)? Should I attempt to open the /etc/wireguard folder to all users ? Is the script that the save button runs executing as the 'www-data' user or some other user?

Thanks

Try again with the latest release.

I re-installed on a fresh rpi3b and it now seems to work. I have some learning to do with wireguard. Thanks for the fix
