That is, any current new installation (say of 0.8.5) *does not* chown in the postint and /var/lib/cassandra and /var/log/cassandra (the directories) are owned by root, not cassandra. Now I'm perfectly fine saying that there is no point in changing things during upgrades and to only fix the chown in the postinst for new installs, but just wanted to make it clear that this has nothing to do with upgrades from some 0.6.x versions. debian packaging installation problem when installing for the first time Key: CASSANDRA-3198 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-3198 Project: Cassandra Issue Type: Bug Components: Packaging Affects Versions: 0.8.5 Reporter: Jérémy Sevellec Assignee: Jérémy Sevellec Fix For: 0.8.6 Attachments: debian-postinst-fixperms.patch, trunk-3198-v1.patch when installing cassandra through the debian packaging for the first time, there is permission problem when starting Cassandra.

The comparison to 0.6.4-2 can be safely removed now, so it should look
something like:

if [ -z $2 ]; then
chown -R cassandra: /var/lib/cassandra
chown -R cassandra: /var/log/cassandra

bq. The comparison to 0.6.4-2 can be safely removed now
Hum, the goal of this ticket is that anyone that have started using the deb
package after 0.6.4-2 have /var/{lib,log}/cassandra owned by root.root, which
was not intended. So we can decide that we want to leave all those people with
those wrong permissions, but it's not safer to remove the comparison now that
it was when the patch was initially committed.

I think that statement was always bugged. What it _should_ do is to ensure
that /var/{lib,log}/cassandra are owned by user cassandra on new installs only,
not upgrades (allowing the user to override that ownership).
At this point, I'm not sure what the comparison to 0.6.4-2 was supposed to
accomplish, I assume it was a (misguided )attempt at applying this policy to
versions greater than or equal to 0.6.4-2 (we didn't always create the
cassandra user and chown in postinst). Either way, the current packaging will
never be used to upgrade from an 0.6.x release directly, so there is no danger
in removing it.
So, looking at that (untested )snippet again:
{noformat}
if [ -z $2 ]; then
chown -R cassandra: /var/lib/cassandra
chown -R cassandra: /var/log/cassandra
fi
{noformat}
would only apply ownership changes if argument #2 is empty, that is to say,
there is no previously configured version (i.e. not an upgrade).

I did not test the upgrade from 0.6.4-2 since I did not completely understand why it was important, but I left it in once I traced it down to CASSANDRA-1004. As I suspected there's people out there that know better :-) (BTW, in testing I found one minor irritation that /var/log/cassandra/output.log gets created owned by root after installation. I suspect this is because it is created before jsvc switches the user to after allowing privileged operations to complete...once I'm sure the problem is real I'll file it separatelybut it was a good test case for the patch!) debian packaging installation problem when installing for the first time Key: CASSANDRA-3198 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-3198 Project: Cassandra Issue Type: Bug Components: Packaging Affects Versions: 0.8.5 Reporter: Jérémy Sevellec Assignee: Jérémy Sevellec Fix For: 0.8.6 Attachments: debian-postinst-fixperms.patch, trunk-3198-v1.patch when installing cassandra through the debian packaging for the first time, there is permission problem when starting Cassandra.
