Updated to 4.1.3-4 (fc23); vanishlog and varnishnsca still fail to start. $ cat /usr/lib/systemd/system/varnishlog.service [Unit] Description=Varnish Cache HTTP accelerator logging daemon After=varnish.service [Service] RuntimeDirectory=varnishlog Type=forking PIDFile=/run/varnishlog/varnishlog.pid User=varnish Group=varnish ExecStart=/usr/bin/varnishlog -a -w /var/log/varnish/varnish.log -D -P /run/varnishlog/varnishlog.pid ExecReload=/bin/kill -HUP $MAINPID [Install] WantedBy=multi-user.target Notice, the service is still expecting the PIDFile to exist in /run/varnishlog. That directory does not exist. 1) The PIDFile location needs to be changed to /run/varnishlog.pid OR 2) The package should install a tmpfiles.d configuration file which creates the /run/varnishlog directory with the appropriate permissions (preferred)
This is strange, as this should work without any tmpfiles.d configuration, as it uses the RuntimeDirectory statement in the systemd service file. This is straight out of the manpage systemd.exec(5). I tested the package today (the update from updates-testing), on both f23 and f24. It seems to work fine. varnishlog and varnishncsa starts fine. (Note that varnishd have to run for this to work. Can you verify that you 1) actually have tested the version in updates-testing 2) don't have any extra variants of the varnish*.service files in /etc/systemd/system 3) test this on fedora, and not, for instance on epel7 Ingvar

The logfiles of old, created from the previous varnish package, had permissions of root:root. Now they are expected to be varnish:varnish. This prevents a restart of existing varnishlog and varnishncsa services.
Yep, ownership of the logfiles is the culprit.
