Description Shishir Prakash 2015-02-24 14:58:22 UTC 
Description of problem:
We found that the retrace server's GUI was down due to permission issue on /cores/retrace/tasks/314101131/status 

Looking at /var/log/httpd/ssl_error_log  i found the below error.

[Tue Feb 24 02:15:31 2015] [error] [client 10.64.0.192] mod_wsgi (pid=25086): Exception occurred processing WSGI script '/usr/share/retrace-server/manager.wsgi'.

Looked at the permission of the directory /cores/retrace/tasks/314101131/status and it was jsibble.

i changed it back to retrace:gss-eng-collab and the issue got resolved.


How reproducible:
Change the permission of any task's status

After the patches to fix https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1313011#c13 this should not be possible anymore.
