karaf-service scripts tries to create "data" directory in wrong location
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: KARAF-270
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KARAF-270
Project: Karaf
Issue Type: Bug
Affects Versions: 2.1.0
Environment: Unix
Reporter: Joe Luo
To start FUSE ESB as a service, we need to install wrapper feature first:
{code}
$features:install wrapper
$wrapper:install
{code}
karaf-service and karaf-wrapper will be generated in "\bin" directory. Then we
need to link karaf-service to /etc/init.d/. When we start the service through
either "service karaf-service start" or "/etc/init.d/karaf-sevice start"
command, the karaf-service scripts tries to create "data" directory in wrong
location:
{code}
start() {
echo "Starting $APP_LONG_NAME..."
getpid
if [ "X$pid" = "X" ]
then
if [ ! -d ../../data ]; then
mkdir ../../data
fi
if [ ! -d ../../data/log ]; then
mkdir ../../data/log
fi
COMMAND_LINE="$CMDNICE $WRAPPER_CMD $WRAPPER_CONF
wrapper.syslog.ident=$APP_NAME wrapper.pid
file=$PIDFILE wrapper.daemonize=TRUE $ANCHORPROP $IGNOREPROP $LOCKPROP"
exec $COMMAND_LINE
else
echo "$APP_LONG_NAME is already running."
exit 1
fi
}
{code}
Basically, it tries to create "data" directory two levels up from
"<apache-servicemix-4.2.0-fuse-01-00 install dir>/bin" directory.
If we install FUSE ESB into /opt directory, say we have directory structure
like:
/opt/apache-servicemix-4.2.0-fuse-01-00
"/opt" is owned by root user. So the karaf-scripts tries to create "data"
directory directly under "/opt" which is outside of
"/opt/apache-servicemix-4.2.0-fuse-01-00". It will be fine if the service is
started by root user. However, it will fail with below error if the service is
started by any other users:
{quote}
Starting karaf...
mkdir: cannot create directory `../../data': Permission denied
mkdir: cannot create directory `../../data/log': No such file or directory
{quote}
To fix this problem, we need to change "../../data" from generated
karaf-service scripts to "../data"
