Description of problem:


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

mongodb-2.4.6-1.el6.x86_64

How reproducible:
Every time

Steps to Reproduce:
1. set "OPTIONS='--setParameter enableLocalhostAuthBypass=0'" in /etc/sysconfig/mongod
2. service restart mongod

Actual results:
The parameter is not picked up

Expected results:
The parameter is picked up

Additional info:
The code which is supposed to pick up the settings is sourcing the sysconfig *after* trying to read the variable. Also, the variable name in the sample sysconfig is not matching what the init script expects.

A second patch to clean up the init script. The sample config may otherwise confuse people that it is possible to override the "-f" setting.

Comment 2 Matthias Saou 2014-02-04 09:30:08 UTC
Note that the current 2.4.6-3.el6 seems to be broken after a fresh install :

[...]
Installed:
  mongodb-server.x86_64 0:2.4.6-3.el6                                           

Complete!
[root@rs01 ~]# service mongod start
Starting mongod:                                           [  OK  ]
[root@rs01 ~]# service mongod status
mongod dead but subsys locked
[root@rs01 ~]# tail /var/log/mongodb/mongodb.log 
error command line: multiple_occurrences
use --help for help

The "multiple_occurrences" message is about command-line options being repeated. The problem here is that "--quiet" is present hardcoded in the init script *and* inside the default sysconfig file. Removing it from the sysconfig file fixes the problem.
