There are a few major annoyances with the current snipsnap scripts: 1) It runs as root, which is not necessary. 2) /etc/init.d/snipsnap stop doesn't stop the running daemon 3) The /opt/snipsnap dir contains files modified during execution Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. /etc/init.d/snipsnap start 2. Visit localhost:8668/install 3. Make a new application Actual Results: Files are created in /opt/snipsnap (log files), in /opt/snipsnap/application (datafiles) and /opt/snipsnap/cache (cache files) Application is run as root. Expected Results: Application should be run as a non-privileged user (i.e. snipsnap). Log files should have been created in /var/log/snipsnap Datafiles should be put in /var/lib/snipsnap/applications Cachefiles should be put in /var/lib/snipsnap/cache The attached script fixes some of the problems. It assumes 1) snipsnap is started as the user snipsnap 2) /var/log/snipsnap is owned by snipsnap 3) /var/lib/snipsnap and subdirs is owned by snipsnap 4) /var/lib/applications exists 4) /var/lib/lib/snipsnap/snipsnap-installer.war exists
Created attachment 18470 [details] Revised runscript Must be run as user snipsnap!
