Description Ken Dreyer (Red Hat) 2015-04-22 22:33:44 UTC

Description of problem:
There are rumors on the ceph-users mailing list that the ceph-radosgw service fails to start if the httpd package is not installed. This is because the init.d file attempts to start the RGW process with the "apache" UID. If a user is running civetweb, there is no reason for the httpd package to be present on the system.

We should switch the init script to use "root" as is done on Debian/Ubuntu.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
ceph-0.94.1-5.el7cp

See http://lists.ceph.com/pipermail/ceph-users-ceph.com/2015-April/000257.html

Comment 1 Ken Dreyer (Red Hat) 2015-04-23 21:22:42 UTC

QE team: in order to verify this bug is fixed, you should verify that "service ceph-radosgw start" works even when the httpd package is not installed on the system.

Comment 5 shilpa 2015-06-02 09:00:43 UTC

Verified on ceph-0.94.1-11.el7cp.x86_64. 

ceph-radosgw starts without httpd service. 

# service httpd status
Redirecting to /bin/systemctl status  httpd.service
httpd.service
   Loaded: not-found (Reason: No such file or directory)
   Active: inactive (dead)


# service ceph-radosgw start
Starting ceph-radosgw (via systemctl):  [  OK  ]
