--------------------------------------
Summary: Linux binary installation fails because RUN_AS_GROUP not
used in chown commands
Key: DIRSERVER-2173
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DIRSERVER-2173
Project: Directory ApacheDS
Issue Type: Bug
Affects Versions: 2.0.0-M20
Reporter: Chris Thain
The change implemented in DIRSERVER-1995 only works for installs on Linux hosts
in which $RUN_AS_USER is also a valid group.
The following trace shows the case of how the Linux binary installation of
ApacheDS fails when the $RUN_AS_USER is not also an existing group:
Do you agree to the above license terms? [yes or no]
yes
Unpacking the installer...
Extracting the installer...
Where do you want to install ApacheDS? [Default: /opt/apacheds-2.0.0-M20]
Where do you want to install ApacheDS instances? [Default:
/var/lib/apacheds-2.0.0-M20]
What name do you want for the default instance? [Default: default]
Where do you want to install the startup script? [Default: /etc/init.d]
Which user do you want to run the server with (if not already existing, the
specified user will be created)? [Default: apacheds]
Which group do you want to run the server with (if not already existing, the
specified group will be created)? [Default: apacheds]
servers

chown: invalid group: `apacheds:apacheds'
chown: invalid group: `apacheds:apacheds'
chown: invalid group: `apacheds:apacheds'
An error occurred when installing ApacheDS.
ApacheDS installation failed.
In this case 'apacheds' is not a valid group on the Linux host so the install
"fails". But $RUN_AS_GROUP is set to 'servers' which is a valid group on the
host so the install should not fail. The sh/install.sh script in the binary
release needs to be updated so that the chown commands use
$RUN_AS_USER:$RUN_AS_GROUP instead of the current $RUN_AS_USER:$RUN_AS_USER:
chown -R $RUN_AS_USER:$RUN_AS_GROUP $APACHEDS_HOME_DIRECTORY
chown -R $RUN_AS_USER:$RUN_AS_GROUP $INSTANCES_HOME_DIRECTORY
chown $RUN_AS_USER:$RUN_AS_GROUP
$STARTUP_SCRIPT_DIRECTORY/apacheds-$APACHEDS_VERSION-$DEFAULT_INSTANCE_NAME
