Martin Stockhammer reassigned MRM-2020:
---------------------------------------
Assignee: Martin Stockhammer
> 'archiva' shell script for linux generated by appassembler plugin does not
> honor the ARCHIVA_BASE environment variable
> ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: MRM-2020
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MRM-2020
> Project: Archiva
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Build, Documentation
> Affects Versions: 2.2.5
> Reporter: Bernd Kauling
> Assignee: Martin Stockhammer
> Priority: Trivial
>
> I followed the installation guide for the standalone installation:
> [https://archiva.apache.org/docs/2.2.5/adminguide/standalone.html]
> I also decided to separate the base from the installation and followed the
> steps mentioned accordingly. I've split my installation into /opt/archiva and
> /var/archiva.
> Step 4 indicates, that the ARCHIVA_BASE environment variable has to be set to
> the new location of archiva, which i have done.
> As i tried to start archiva with
> {code:java}
> $ ./archiva start
> {code}
> i received the following error message:
> {noformat}
> Starting Apache Archiva...
> FATAL | wrapper | Unable to resolve the full path of the configuration
> file, /opt/archiva/conf/wrapper.conf: No such file or directory{noformat}
> After some digging around in the shell script, i noticed this part starting
> on line 44.
> {code:java}
> BASEDIR=`dirname "$0"`/..
> BASEDIR=`(cd "$BASEDIR"; pwd)`
> ls -l "$0" | grep -e '->' > /dev/null 2>&1
> if [ $? = 0 ]; then
> #this is softlink
> _PWD=`pwd`
> _EXEDIR=`dirname "$0"`
> cd "$_EXEDIR"
> _BASENAME=`basename "$0"`
> _REALFILE=`ls -l "$_BASENAME" | sed 's/.*->\ //g'`
> BASEDIR=`dirname "$_REALFILE"`/..
> BASEDIR=`(cd "$BASEDIR"; pwd)`
> cd "$_PWD"
> fi
> {code}
> which determines the BASEDIR environment variable which is used to point to
> the 'wrapper.conf' configuration file which i expected to be now in
> /var/archiva/conf/wrapper.conf.
> After changing the script to the following:
> {code:java}
> if [ -z "$ARCHIVA_BASE" ]; then
> BASEDIR=`dirname "$0"`/..
> BASEDIR=`(cd "$BASEDIR"; pwd)`
> ls -l "$0" | grep -e '->' > /dev/null 2>&1
> if [ $? = 0 ]; then
> #this is softlink
> _PWD=`pwd`
> _EXEDIR=`dirname "$0"`
> cd "$_EXEDIR"
> _BASENAME=`basename "$0"`
> _REALFILE=`ls -l "$_BASENAME" | sed 's/.*->\ //g'`
> BASEDIR=`dirname "$_REALFILE"`/..
> BASEDIR=`(cd "$BASEDIR"; pwd)`
> cd "$_PWD"
> fi
> else
> BASEDIR=$ARCHIVA_BASE
> fi
> {code}
> Archiva starts up correctly.
> Step 2 of the installation guide instructs the reader to copy the files
> instead of moving them, because the "move will fail". I can only imagine what
> that means, but after what i've learned now it may indicate that the "failing
> part" may not be the move operation itself, but the successful start of
> archiva, if the 'wrapper.conf' is moved too.
> What i did was to copy the files, delete the old configuration files and to
> create a readme to remind myself where the config files are now. Including
> the 'wrapper.conf'.
> That leaves me with two options:
> Either this is a "bug" in the documentation or a bug in the generated shell
> script.
> h3. Proposal:
>
> So either
> 1) The documentation needs to be adjusted to state in step 2 that the
> wrapper.conf should stay in the base directory if that is what step 2 of the
> documentation really means.
> or
> 2) The generated shell script should include the above mentioned check.
>
> If option 1 is the correct one, i'd volunteer to provide a better
> documentation for that section.
> If option 2 is the correct one, i am afraid that i don't know how to fix
> that. I've poked around the source code and i've read the appassembler
> documentation, but i am not sure if that is even possible with the plugin.
