[jira] Created: (CASSANDRA-2190) Service fails to starts since
mkdir /var/lib/cassandra fails
Service fails to starts since mkdir /var/lib/cassandra fails
------------------------------------------------------------
Key: CASSANDRA-2190
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-2190
Project: Cassandra
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Packaging
Affects Versions: 0.7.2
Reporter: Joaquin Casares
Priority: Minor
Fix For: 0.7.3
After installing the debian and running 'sudo service cassandra start' I see this in the output.log:
Caused by: java.io.IOException: unable to mkdirs /var/lib/cassandra/data.
After running this workaround:
sudo mkdir /var/lib/cassandra
sudo chown cassandra:cassandra /var/lib/cassandra
The service starts.
On ami-cef405a7 in EC2. Ubuntu 10.10 (official release).

[jira] Commented: (CASSANDRA-2190) Service fails to starts since

Joaquin Casares commented on CASSANDRA-2190:
--------------------------------------------
It was my fault, sorry. I had a line in the script bundled from before I started using the debian package that killed /var/lib/cassandra to make sure it was a fresh start.
I told others of my mistake, but forgot about this JIRA ticket. Resolving this now.

Something odd is going on here and more information will be needed.
The first of those two commands shouldn't be needed because a) an empty directory is shipped in the package itself, and b) even it were not, the invocation of {{adduser}} in the postinst would create it.
The only reasons I can see for the chown is that either a) the directory didn't exist (and so it wasn't chown'd in the postinst), or b) the user wasn't created (you can't make a non-existent user owner).
How did you install package? Were there errors when installing the package? Did user cassandra exist prior to the install?
