I am trying to launch JupyterHub on CentOS 7 using SystemdSpawner and FirstUseAuthenticator. After I launch JupyterHub (whether in the command line or as a service), I can log into the JupyterHub page, but then I see “Spawn failed”. When the spawn fails, the following error appears in the command line:
ERROR:asyncio:Task exception was never retrieved
future: <Task finished coro=<BaseHandler.spawn_single_user() done, defined at /data/programs/miniconda3/envs/huracan_deps/lib/python3.7/site-packages/jupyterhub/handlers/base.py:697> exception=PermissionError(13, 'Permission denied')>

It looks like there is a PermissionError in /run/jupyter-huracan-jamapp-singleuser. That folder doesn’t exist. I tried creating the directory manually. When I do so, and I re-launch JupyterHub, I see the following error after logging in:
ERROR:asyncio:Task exception was never retrieved

PermissionError: [Errno 1] Operation not permitted: '/run/jupyter-huracan-jamapp-singleuser'
I’m launching JupyterHub as an admin user, “admjamapp”, and logging in as a local user: “huracan-jamapp”.
Does anyone have suggestions on how to fix the errors above?
