> Key: DIRSERVER-2173
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DIRSERVER-2173
> Project: Directory ApacheDS
> Issue Type: Bug
> Affects Versions: 2.0.0-M20
> Reporter: Chris Thain
> Assignee: Stefan Seelmann
> Fix For: 2.0.0-M24
>
>
> The change implemented in DIRSERVER-1995 only works for installs on Linux
> hosts in which $RUN_AS_USER is also a valid group.
> The following trace shows the case of how the Linux binary installation of
> ApacheDS fails when the $RUN_AS_USER is not also an existing group:
> Do you agree to the above license terms? [yes or no]
> yes
> Unpacking the installer...
> Extracting the installer...
> Where do you want to install ApacheDS? [Default: /opt/apacheds-2.0.0-M20]
> Where do you want to install ApacheDS instances? [Default:
> /var/lib/apacheds-2.0.0-M20]
> What name do you want for the default instance? [Default: default]
> Where do you want to install the startup script? [Default: /etc/init.d]
> Which user do you want to run the server with (if not already existing, the
> specified user will be created)? [Default: apacheds]
> Which group do you want to run the server with (if not already existing, the
> specified group will be created)? [Default: apacheds]
> servers
> Installing...
> chown: invalid group: `apacheds:apacheds'
> chown: invalid group: `apacheds:apacheds'
> chown: invalid group: `apacheds:apacheds'
> An error occurred when installing ApacheDS.
> ApacheDS installation failed.
> In this case 'apacheds' is not a valid group on the Linux host so the install
> "fails". But $RUN_AS_GROUP is set to 'servers' which is a valid group on the
> host so the install should not fail. The sh/install.sh script in the binary
> release needs to be updated so that the chown commands use
> $RUN_AS_USER:$RUN_AS_GROUP instead of the current $RUN_AS_USER:$RUN_AS_USER:
> chown -R $RUN_AS_USER:$RUN_AS_GROUP $APACHEDS_HOME_DIRECTORY
> chown -R $RUN_AS_USER:$RUN_AS_GROUP $INSTANCES_HOME_DIRECTORY
> chown $RUN_AS_USER:$RUN_AS_GROUP
> $STARTUP_SCRIPT_DIRECTORY/apacheds-$APACHEDS_VERSION-$DEFAULT_INSTANCE_NAME
