[SFtrack] Created: (XCF-2291) Backup fails on SuSE due to permissions
Backup fails on SuSE due to permissions
---------------------------------------
Key: XCF-2291
URL: http://track.sipfoundry.org/browse/XCF-2291
Project: sipXconfig
Issue Type: Bug
Affects Versions: 3.9.7
Environment: openSUSE 10.2 (X86-64) or SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 10
(x86_64)
Reporter: Carolyn Beeton
On SuSE systems backup fails with an invisible message "PostgreSQL does not
appear to be running. You must start it in order to backup".
The problem is due to the following check in sipx-archive-common:
if [ ! -f /var/run/postmaster*.pid -a \
! -f /var/lib/postgresql/data/postmaster*.pid -a \
! -f /var/lib/pgsql/data/postmaster*.pid -a \
! -f ~postgres/data/postmaster*.pid ]
On SuSE, /var/run/postmaster*.pid does not exist.
/var/lib/pgsql/data/postmaster.pid exists but has permission 600 (no read
permission for non-root).
Can the backup task be run as root? Also, would "pidof postmaster" be a better
(more portable) way to see if postgres is running? (Note that pidof also
requires root on some platforms). Or "ps -edaf|grep postmaster"...
