Re: [rsyslog] rsyslog v8.6.0 pid fails to write

2014-12-02 Thread Rainer Gerhards
This looks like a permission problem. The default Ubuntu config drops
privileges, but /var/run seems to be writable by root only. As part of the
startup processing improvement, we moved writing the pid file down to when
we actually know the system could start up. This interferes with settings
on Ubuntu. I'll check on other platforms as well.

[rsyslog] rsyslog v8.6.0 pid fails to write

2014-12-01 Thread Myles Steinhauser
Installed via Adiscon PPA running on Ubuntu 12.04.5. Using the default
rsyslog config provided by Ubuntu or our own configs for a second logger we
use for following application logs, both fail to startup via Upstart or
running manually.

The error output is:

rsyslogd: error writing pid file
rsyslogd: run failed with error -3000 (see rsyslog.h or try
http://www.rsyslog.com/e/3000 to learn what that number means)


More debug logging with the full command to (hopefully) reproduce is
available here:
https://gist.github.com/masteinhauser/e7abcf594d77de64544c


Please let me know what other information or steps I can try to debug as I
am unable to figure out the next step troubleshooting.

Best,
-Myles
