P0-007: Install Script Template Uses Wrong Path Variables

Priority: P0 (Critical) Date Identified: 2025-12-17 Status: ✅ FIXED Date Fixed: 2025-12-17 Fixed By: Casey & Claude

Problem Description

The Linux install script template uses incorrect template variable names for the new nested directory structure, causing permission commands to fail on fresh installations.

Error Message:

chown: cannot access '/etc/redflag/config.json': No such file or directory

Root Cause:

• Template defines AgentConfigDir: "/etc/redflag/agent" (new nested path)
• But uses {{.ConfigDir}} (old flat path) in permission commands
• Config is created at /etc/redflag/agent/config.json but script tries to chown /etc/redflag/config.json

Files Modified

• aggregator-server/internal/services/templates/install/scripts/linux.sh.tmpl
  • Line 310: {{.ConfigDir}} → {{.AgentConfigDir}}
  • Line 311: {{.ConfigDir}} → {{.AgentConfigDir}}
  • Line 312: {{.ConfigDir}} → {{.AgentConfigDir}}
  • Line 315: {{.LogDir}} → {{.AgentLogDir}}

Verification

After fix, fresh install should complete without "cannot access file" errors.

Impact

• Fixed: Fresh installations will now complete successfully
• Why P0: Blocks ALL new agent installations
• Status: Resolved
