Description Zamir SUN 2013-11-14 04:03:11 UTC
Description of problem:
ircd service cannot start properly after I installed ircd-ratbox.

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

Name        : ircd-ratbox
Arch        : x86_64
Version     : 2.2.8
Release     : 11.fc19

[root@internal ircd]# cat /etc/redhat-release 
Fedora release 19 (Schrödinger’s Cat)
[root@internal ircd]# uname -r
3.9.5-301.fc19.x86_64

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.# yum install ircd-ratbox
2.# systemctl start ircd

Actual results:
Job for ircd.service failed. See 'systemctl status ircd.service' and 'journalctl -xn' for details.

# systemctl status ircd.service
ircd.service - Internet Relay Chat Program Server
   Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/ircd.service; enabled)
   Active: failed (Result: timeout) since Thu 2013-11-14 10:56:26 CST; 22s ago
  Process: 7458 ExecStart=/usr/bin/ircd -pidfile /run/ircd.pid (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS)

Nov 14 10:54:56 internal.sdauqihang.com systemd[1]: PID file /run/ircd.pid not readable (yet?) after start.
Nov 14 10:56:26 internal.sdauqihang.com systemd[1]: ircd.service operation timed out. Terminating.
Nov 14 10:56:26 internal.sdauqihang.com systemd[1]: Failed to start Internet Relay Chat Program Server.
Nov 14 10:56:26 internal.sdauqihang.com systemd[1]: Unit ircd.service entered failed state.

Expected results:
ircd started without any error

Additional info:
Then I tried  as the following:
# touch /run/ircd.pid (the /run/ircd.pid DO NOT exists before this step.)
# chown ircd:ircd /run/ircd.pid 
# systemctl start ircd
And this time it works. So I think there maybe some steps missed in the installation scripts

Comment 1 Nils Philippsen 2014-02-21 13:31:08 UTC
Same here, on Fedora 20. The issue is just a missing file in tmpfiles.d plus adapting the systemd unit file, I'll get on it.
