I installed ReviewBoard yesterday on CentOS 7 with the command 'yum install
ReviewBoard'. We got it working by making all files owned by apache.
Today, I updated the software through easy_install and manually
updated/upgraded my site and tried to tighten up the file permissions.
The problem I had was that every time I changed ownership of
/var/www/reviewboard/htdocs/{media,static}/ext and restarted the web
server, the file ownership changed back to root:root.
After a lot of head-scratching and blind alleys, we finally found it was
because there is a reviewboard configuration file as part of systemd that
runs "rb-site upgrade --all-sites" every time the web server restarts.
This script rebuilds the directories and resets file ownership incorrectly.
I would call this a bug, but wanted to check before hunting down the
bug-reporting mechanism.
Our work around is simply to comment out the line that invokes the rb-site
script:
$ cat /usr/lib/systemd/system/httpd.service.d/reviewboard-sites.conf
#[Service]
#ExecStartPre=/usr/bin/rb-site upgrade --all-sites
[Unit]
After=postgresql.service mariadb.service mysql.service memcached.service
