[rabbitmq-discuss] rabbitmq-server init script

[Nite]

Hi Guys
I am installing rabbitmq-server from source. Where can I find a good init
script to put in /etc/init.d to run rabbitmq as a service?

Thanks.
Nite

Weird, my build does not have a package directory.
Do I have to give any special build parameters?

Ah, no. That directory is in our source tree, but isn't included in the
source distribution. Here's the 2.3.1 one:
http://hg.rabbitmq.com/rabbitmq-server/file/rabbitmq_v2_3_1/packaging/common/rabbitmq-server.init

Cheers,

just a note - the init script sets USER, but never uses the var
anywhere in the script. had a recurring issue with rabbitmq failing to
start after a reboot (centOS). merely adding the following after all
the vars are declared fixes the issue:

chown -R $USER:$USER $INIT_LOG_DIR

should probably be folded into the script...

You're right about USER. We don't use it anywhere.

That's interesting. Did you add some code to run rabbitmq as non-root?

What is your INIT_LOG_DIR? (did you change it to a location that gets
wiped on restart?)

I see we don't automatically `mkdir $INIT_LOG_DIR` in the init script.
How are you creating it?

Cheers,
Alex

nope.

What is your INIT_LOG_DIR? (did you change it to a location that gets
wiped on restart?)

i installed from the RPM, which created the rabbitmq log directory in
the appropriate place, and with the appropriate ownership as
rabbitmq:rabbitmq - it's just that on restart apparently the logs
would be created owned by root which would block startup.

I see we don't automatically `mkdir $INIT_LOG_DIR` in the init script.
How are you creating it?

as above - was created at /var/log/rabbitmq by the rpm.

[Alexandru Scvorţov]

I'm having trouble reproducing this.

On a fresh Centos install, the RPM does what it's supposed to do (and what
you say it does). In /var/log/rabbitmq, there are some log files owned by
root and some owned by rabbitmq, but the root files are only ever accessed
by the init script, and that should be fine.

Is this what you're seeing?

Starting rabbitmq-server: /etc/init.d/rabbitmq-server: line 43:
/var/log/rabbitmq/startup_log: Permission denied
TIMEOUT - check /var/log//rabbitmq/startup_{log,err}
rabbitmq_server.

If so, are you starting the service as a non-root user?

Cheers,
Alex

i believe that's the error, yeah.

no, it just starts from the init script run as user root - the only
changes i made to the init script are as described in my previous
message. but after it starts up, the processes are running under
rabbitmq ownership -


[root at app06 rabbitmq]# ps -ecf|grep rabb

without the change in ownership of the logfiles, it starts
successfully (seemingly) but only a couple of procs are left running
(i don't remember which, sorry - i think just the first one listed
above)

Thanks very much, Alex.
