Description Mike McCune 2011-07-26 22:17:24 UTC

When attempting to run katello from the init.d katello script it fails silently with no rails process.

Starting it manually as the katello user reveals some problems:

# runuser -s /bin/bash katello


bash-4.2$ cd /usr/lib/katello/
bash-4.2$ /usr/lib/katello/script/rails  s -p 3000 -e production
=> Booting WEBrick
=> Rails 3.0.5 application starting in production on http://0.0.0.0:3000
=> Call with -d to detach
=> Ctrl-C to shutdown server
Exiting
/usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rack-1.1.0/lib/rack/server.rb:208:in `initialize': Permission denied - /usr/lib/katello/tmp/pids/server.pid (Errno::EACCES)

Fix perm on /usr/lib/katello/tmp/pids/server.pid which is owned by root:root after RPM is installed and you get:

bash-4.2$ /usr/lib/katello/script/rails  s -p 3000 -e production
=> Booting WEBrick
=> Rails 3.0.5 application starting in production on http://0.0.0.0:3000

Comment 1 Mike McCune 2011-07-26 22:18:35 UTC

Further errors as jammit attempts to recompile css:

   remove tmp/sass-cache/ 
Exiting
/usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/compass-0.11.5/lib/compass/actions.rb:72:in `unlink': Permission denied - /usr/lib/katello/public/stylesheets/compiled/sections/dashboard.css (Errno::EACCES)


This I will solve with a jammit command in the specfile ...

Comment 2 Lukas Zapletal 2011-07-27 07:59:44 UTC

Mike, are you sure you *did not* previously run katello under root?

I have suspicion that you did. Because normally the /usr/lib/katello/tmp/folder is writable for the katello user. If you run it under root the pid file will be created as root (and cannot be overwritten using the normal account then).

I guess this is invalid, or dupe of 725793 which I am going to solve by the jammit command right now. I am closing this, please re-open if you still need a fix. I will test this scenario anyway.
