Description

Hey,

I have the following (in my eyes correct) permissions on the app.ini file:

$ ls -la /media/data/gitea/app.ini    
-rw-r--r-- 1 gitea gitea 1675 Apr 20 22:38 /media/data/gitea/app.ini

However, when trying to run gitea as the gitea user, the following error occurs:

$ sudo -u gitea /usr/bin/gitea web -c /media/data/gitea/app.ini
2023/04/20 23:19:05 cmd/web.go:105:runWeb() [I] Starting Gitea on PID: 10137
2023/04/20 23:19:05 ...s/setting/setting.go:253:newFileProviderFromConf() [E] Unable to check if /media/data/gitea/app.ini is a file. Error: stat /media/data/gitea/app.ini: permission denied

Dumping yields the same error:

$ sudo -u gitea gitea dump -c /media/data/gitea/app.ini
2023/04/20 23:09:39 ...s/setting/setting.go:253:newFileProviderFromConf() [E] Unable to check if /media/data/gitea/app.ini is a file. Error: stat /media/data/gitea/app.ini: permission denied
2023/04/20 23:09:39 ...s/setting/setting.go:260:newFileProviderFromConf() [F] Unable to find configuration file: "/media/data/gitea/app.ini".
	Ensure you are running in the correct environment or set the correct configuration file with -c.

Remark: /media/data/ is an ext4 file system.

Sorry for the delay..

That's a good point - I actually got a permission error running these commands, too.
I discovered that the permission of the /media/data directory lacked the executive flag, so a simple sudo chmod +x /media/data did the trick.

Thank you very much for pointing me there!
