Ownership and permissions of /run/munin are reset/recreated upon reboot and do not work for me. chown munin:nginx and chmod g+x gets it working in my case. Can something similar be built into the initscript? I'm using munin-2.0.25-r1.
Hi, This error just occured to me too. Since /var/run is a tmpfs, it gets emptied on every reboot. It is owned by root, and the munin-cron job is running under user munin, so it get's a permission denied, when it tries to create the munin folder. Something like this has to be run as root: mkdir -p /var/run/munin && chown munin /var/run/munin
Correct permissions should already be set up via the tmpfiles service. This was already the case in munin-2.0.19-r2 at least. Perhaps you are not using this service?

Closing this bug because the tmpfiles.d file should cover this and has been present in all recent versions.
