Description Nathan Kinder 2011-02-24 22:25:37 UTC
We currently create /var/run/dirsrv in the post-install scripts if it doesn't already exist.  This can cause problems with incorrect permissions when you run setup-ds.pl.  The issue is that setup-ds.pl will leave the owner alone if /var/run/dirsrv exists already and it will reset the group permissions only.  If a SuiteSpotGroup is not specified, the group permissions are set to none.  This will cause the instance to not have permission to write it's pidfile unless it is configured to run as root.

If we don't create /var/run/dirsrv at post-install, setup-ds.pl will create it with the proper permissions.

make sure the system is completely clean of 389 packages - make sure there are no /var/*/dirsrv directories.

yum install 389-ds-base

There should not be a /var/run/dirsrv directory after yum install - it should be created when you run setup-ds[-admin].pl

Comment 5 Amita Sharma 2011-05-25 09:19:31 UTC
make sure the system is completely clean of 389 packages - make sure there are
no /var/*/dirsrv directories.

[root@amsharma etc]# rpm -qa | grep 389
[root@amsharma var]# ls -l /var/run/dirsrv
ls: cannot access /var/run/dirsrv: No such file or directory


I got a segmentation fault here :( (not sure, because I was under /var???)
[root@amsharma var]# yum install 389-ds-base

Not sure why yum core dumped.  You should probably file a bug against yum.  But the directory server bug has been verified.
