Description Daniel Kenzelmann 2014-10-14 12:53:31 UTC

In line 29:

checkpath -q -d -m 0770 -o jabber:jabber "${pidfile}"

creates a directory called /var/run/jabber/prosody.pid/

which causes the error during startup, resulting in prosody not starting:
Oct 14 14:39:49 [prosody] mod_posix: Couldn't write pidfile at /var/run/jabber/prosody.pid; /var/run/jabber/prosody.pid: Is a directory
Oct 14 14:39:49 [prosody] general: Shutting down: Couldn't write pidfile


Reproducible: Always

I can confirm this.

Fix is in CVS -- this was caused by me forgetting to change -d to -f on the added checkpath call :-/
