Description of problem: After installing canna, "service canna start" produces this message: Starting Canna server: cannaserver: -u flag specified, but canna not run as root [FAILED] Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Canna-3.7p3-16.fc6 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install Canna 2. service canna start (or reboot) Actual results: The Canna server fails to start. Expected results: The Canna server should start. Additional info:
Well, sorry, it looks like there are no canna user in your box, which means %post somehow failed during the installation. Please make sure if canna user has been added. if not, please attach the installation log if you have. it would be helpful to solve your problem.
Oops, I meant %pre, but anyway ;)
I found the problem. Once upon a time, I had openais installed. It created a user named "ais" with ID 39. When I uninstalled it, apparently it left user ais behind. Anyway, the entry is still in /etc/passwd. So when the Canna package tried to create user 39, it failed. You should probably check whether openais still wants uid 39; if so, either it or the Canna package will have to change the requested uid. Deleting the ais user manually and reinstalling Canna did the trick. Thanks!
