Hello,
When building traffic server I call configure with --localstatedir=/var
and --with-user=trafficserver. I noticed that make install sets /var
owner and group to trafficserver. After doing some research I found
that the problematic code is in proxy/Makefile.am:
Hmmm, yeah, that does seem broken, doesn't it ? I don't think we write into
localstatedir directly, but into subdirectories of that? Can you file a bug,
and perhaps go through the layout.config as well, to make sure we never need
write perms / ownership of this dir?
I also considered setting --localstatedir=/var/trafficserver but then
log dir is set to /var/trafficserver/log/trafficserver which seems just
wrong.
Well, you could override that too in this case. Looking at the layout.config,
it seems in many cases it'll do e.g.
localstatedir: /var+
runtimedir: ${localstatedir}/run
logdir: ${localstatedir}/log
cachedir: ${localstatedir}/cache
(which makes it e.g. /var/ltrafficserver/log/).
Thanks!
