Description Claus Conrad 2013-09-30 08:36:13 UTC

Description of problem:

Permission denied when run as regular user; tries to write to /usr/share.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 5.9

How reproducible:

When I run "drush <some-command>" on a Drupal website somewhere below my home folder it complains about not being able to write to /usr/share/pear/drush.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. sudo yum install -y php-drush-drush
2. cd
3. drush status

Actual results:

[claus@localhost]$ drush status
Directory /usr/share/pear/drush exists, but is not writable. Please  [error]
check directory permissions.

Expected results:

A message that the current directory is not a Drupal site.

Additional info:

Reporting this bug as suggested at https://ask.fedoraproject.org/question/33217/drush-fails-as-regular-user-permission-denied/ , where a workaround is described.

Fixing https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=997843 would probably fix this one too.

Comment 1 John Friar 2013-10-08 18:01:36 UTC

This problem is being caused because the drush RPM does not include "/usr/share/pear/drush/lib/", which drush requires (but doesn't require to be writeable), and a non-root user cannot create that folder

"/usr/share/pear/drush/lib/" should be included in the drush RPM.

When I created that folder (as root), my non-root user was able to run drush.

Comment 2 Shawn Iwinski 2013-10-09 00:39:34 UTC

Claus & John -- Would two like to have a quick fix for this (comment #1) or would you like to wait until I have time to get the pkg updated (bug #997843).  I could do the quick fix tomorrow, but the update will take me a little longer.

Comment 3 Claus Conrad 2013-10-09 08:30:56 UTC

This is not urgent for me. I am working with the upstream 6.0 release at the moment.

Comment 4 John Friar 2013-10-09 17:19:55 UTC

I've manually fixed this by creating "/usr/share/pear/drush/lib" on my machines with drush, so, assuming bug #997843 will be available for RHEL6 (via EPEL), then I'm fine with waiting for version 6 as well.
