Angelos,

I have just found the answer to that too: install_cartaro.sh ran last in inchroot.sh, also started GeoServer, then reset all the GeoServer permissions, in effect cleaning up after install_geonode.sh. The retirement of Cartaro from OSGeo Live breaks GeoServer. I will add a cleanup step to install_geonode.sh:


From bin/retired/install_cartaro.sh:

############################################
# Bring down GeoServer and reset permissions
############################################

"$GEO_PATH"/bin/shutdown.sh &> /dev/null &
sleep 30

## Allow the user to write in the GeoServer data dir
adduser "$USER_NAME" users
chmod -R g+w "$GEO_PATH/data_dir"
chmod -R g+w "$GEO_PATH/logs"
chgrp -R users "$GEO_PATH/data_dir"
chgrp -R users "$GEO_PATH/logs"


Kind regards,
Ben.

Hi Ben,

I saw the same issue in nightly build5.
I am wondering why geoserver has this permission issue, previous
versions used to work fine with this setup.

Best,
Angelos

Angelos,

even with my most recent fixes
<https://github.com/bencaradocdavies/OSGeoLive/tree/upgrade-geoserver>, 
GeoServer
on a nightly build will still not start.

Looks to me like permissions problems (files and directories in the
data directory whcih are owned by root). Likely culprit is
install_geonode.sh, which starts GeoServer as root "to update layers
in the geonode db", causing the creation of files and directories
owned by root:root. The solution (in install_geonode.sh) might be
something like:

su -c "$GEOSERVER_PATH/bin/startup.sh" - user

but it will take a little fiddling to get this working with
redirection and running in the background. I will let you know when I
have a fix.

Kind regards,
