permission denied error when copying files in jenkins

[Pradeep Patra]

Hi all,
. I have created a Jenkins server (master) and tried copying from one location/path of jenkins server to another location a Perl script within the same server. I have changed all the file/ folders for Jenkins user/group(chown,chgrp)and restarted the Jenkins server. While copying files I an getting error " regular file cp failed: Permission denied error after trigerring the Jenkins job which uses script to copy files. Can anyone help in this please?

You can check in the server console

# su -l jenkins -s /bin/bash -c 'cp /location/path1/file1.txt /location2/path2/file1.txt'

I have actually the same problem, if I run:

su -l jenkins -s /bin/bash -c 'cp /var/lib/jenkins/workspace/xxx/index.php /var/www/html/tmp/'

the result is: 

cannot create regular file ‘/var/www/html/tmp/index.php’: Permission denied

What can I do?

‘/var/www/html directory normally requires root privileges to update.  Doing so as user Jenkins is not going to work unless you have altered the directory permissions (highly non-advisable) to match.
