Good morning,

When I try to launch WakeOnLan (WOL) from the console, I get the following message:

Error on server:
PermissionError(1, 'Operation not permitted')

and on the server side, in the logs:

[waptserver ] CRITICAL trigger_wakeonlan failed PermissionError(1, 'Operation not permitted')

I am currently using the following versions:

WAPT Server version: 2.2.3
WAPT Agent version: 2.2.3.12485
WAPT Setup version: 2.2.3.12485
WAPT Deploy version: 2.2.3.12485
Database status: OK (2.2.6.2)

The server is running on Debian 11, and the wakeonlan package is installed. The message is brief and doesn't specify which file is inaccessible.
The files that appear to be related to wakeonlan are as follows:

Do you have any idea what might be causing the blockage here?

Hello Alain,

are you using the Enterprise version or not? What operating system are you using? Is SELinux enabled or not? Does sending a wakeonlan packet from the command line work from the WAPT server? Are there any firewall rules for outgoing packets?

Regards,

Denis

Hello,

Sorry: installing version 2.3.0.13516 fixed the problem. It was version 2.2 in Discovery on a Debian 11 system.

Okay, thanks for the feedback,

Denis
