title: MSSQL: The configuration file '/var/opt/mssql/mssql.conf' failed to load (Ubuntu)
body: <p>I have an issue to install MSSQL on my Linux(Ubuntu 16.04) Server.</p>
  
  <p>I have used the manual from Microsoft but I always fail on the same stage.
  Actually, Docker is not an alternative due to Kernal issues.</p>
  
  <p>After:</p>
  
  <pre><code>sudo apt-get install -y mssql-server
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I'm supposed to do </p>
  
  <pre><code>sudo /opt/mssql/bin/mssql-conf setup.
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>This returns after answering all questions:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>sqlservr[8383]: sqlservr: The configuration file '/var/opt/mssql/mssql.conf' failed to load (error: The INI file could not be opened. Errno [2] Filename [mssql.conf]).</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>I can access the config file and it seems to be usable by the script as well.
  My Linux skills are not good enough to resolve this issue.</p>
  
  <p>To answer some questions that were raised:</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li>I tried <code>sudo</code></li>
  <li><code>cat</code> the file returns the content as expected</li>
  </ol>
