I install kibana on Ubuntu Server 14.04.4 LTS.
But when I upgrade kibana from 4.5.0 to 4.5.1, it cannot startup any more.
Here is the `/var/log/kibana/kibana.stderr`:
```auto
FATAL { [Error: EACCES: permission denied, open '/opt/kibana/optimize/bundles/kibana.entry.js']
cause:

isOperational: true,

FATAL { [Error: EACCES: permission denied, open '/opt/kibana/optimize/bundles/kibana.entry.js']

```
I've tried to use `apt-get purge kibana` to uninstall kibana, and use `apt-get install kibana` to install it agent.

I've downgraded to `4.5.0` by using `apt-get install kibana=4.5.0`. It works well for me.
Hope this issue will be fixed.

I've fixed by myself.
Just use `chmod -R kibana:kibana /opt/kibana/optimize/`.

There's an existing issue on GH for this - [https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/6730](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/6730)

That's right, same issue. I've compared the packages between `4.5.0` and `4.5.1`. I find that `4.5.0` deb package does not contain `config/kibana.yml` and `optimize/bundles/`. Kibana `4.5.0` will automate create these files and dirs at first startup.
