Description T. J. Brumfield 2012-01-03 17:35:46 UTC
Description of problem:
Out of the box, the murmur service won't run. It won't start as root, nor as a non-root account.

As a root user I get the following output:

<W>2011-12-12 09:02:26.871 Initializing settings from /etc/mumble-server.ini (basepath /etc)
<W>2011-12-12 09:02:26.877 OpenSSL: OpenSSL 1.0.0e-fips 6 Sep 2011
<W>2011-12-12 09:02:26.891 SSL: Adding recommended CA UTN-USERFirst-Client Authentication and Email
<C>2011-12-12 09:02:26.891 Successfully switched to uid 993
<F>2011-12-12 09:02:26.912 ServerDB: Failed initialization: unable to open database file Error opening database

As non-root, the user doesn't have permissions to write a log file to /var/log/mumble-server/mumble-server.log

The default setting in mumble-server.ini seems to be to try and switch to a user account of mumble-server but that user account isn't created when installing the package.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): murmur-1.2.3.5


How reproducible:
Every time

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install a fresh install of FC16 (may have the same issue on 14/15 but haven't tested)
2. Install murmur
3. Attempt to start the service
  
Actual results:
Service won't start

Expected results:
Service starting

Additional info:
If I edit /etc/mumble-server.ini and comment out the uname setting, I can get it to run as root, but that is a security concern. I imagine the proper fix is to create a mumble-server user account and give it rights to write to the log file, but I don't know if it also needs permissions to other things (such as the sqlite database).
