Problem with /etc/init.d/open-xchange-groupware startup

[mackie]

Hi Folks!

My first Hyperion installation. I've a problem with open-xchange-groupware init on open-xchange user privileges. Look:

# /etc/init.d/open-xchange-groupware start
Starting Open-Xchange Groupware: open-xchange-groupware.

# /etc/init.d/open-xchange-groupware status
Checking for Open-Xchange Groupware: not running

So:

# bash -x /etc/init.d/open-xchange-groupware start
+ set -e
+ STARTSCRIPT=/opt/open-xchange/sbin/open-xchange-groupware
+ NAME=open-xchange-groupware
+ DESC='Open-Xchange Groupware'

Ok, when i try:

/opt/open-xchange/sbin/open-xchange-groupware --make-pidfile --pidfile /var/run/open-xchange-groupware.pid

Everything seems fine:

So whats wrong ? Any ideas ? Please help

[Francisco Laguna]

It might be interesting what the java process whines about before starting up. Can you run the script /opt/open-xchange/sbin/open-xchange-groupware as user open-xchange? Also there might me some interesting hints in /var/log/open-xchange/openexchange-console.log

[mackie]

re

No, i cant run script as open-xchange. Bad file and dir permissions. Everywhere in /opt/open-xchange/ is 700 for dirs and 600 for files. Owner and group is root:root . Ok, is that wrong ? Shouldn't ant make property chmod during installation ?
And /var/log/open-xchange/open-xchange-console.log is empty. Only:

mar 21 14:32:08 localhost openexchange: Loglevel set to: 5

[Francisco Laguna]

Yes the ant installation should take care of that, why it didn't is anyones guess.

The permissions for the open-xchange-groupware script should be 0755, but the install target should chmod them. Try changing this manually and give it another try, please?

Permissions in /opt/open-xchange/lib is made by myself.

Ok permision for sbin/open-xchange-groupware is fine. But, still user open-xchange cant read files:

/opt/open-xchange/etc/groupware/oxfunctions.sh
/opt/open-xchange/etc/groupware/ox-scriptconf.sh

After chmod (#su open-xchange):

Maybe i should add user open-xchange to root group ;-) ?

[Francisco Laguna]

I take it you're going for the minimal set of user access permissions. Apparently it'd be a good idea if the ant script also set the permissions on oxfunctions.sh and ox-scriptconf.sh like you found out. Pretty much every file in /opt/open-xchange/etc has to be read by either the groupware or the admin at one point for another, so it'd probably be a good idea to make those world-readable.

We might have to add this to the ant script. Could you do me the favor and change this manually to find out whether some more permission problems lurk behind some corner?

So whats wrong ? Any ideas ? Please help

start-stop-daemon -v --chuid root --group root --background --start --oknodo --startas
/opt/open-xchange/sbin/open-xchange-groupware --make-pidfile --pidfile /var/run/open-xchange-groupware.pid

When you run this script, there'll be a pid file with ownership root I could imagine and owner open-xchange does not have permission to override it.

Ok, but how do i check what version of ox i am running ?

[neo]

Ok, but how do i check what version of ox i am running ?

Have a look at the timestamp of build.xml everywhere. Currently there is no build_number available.

[mackie]

Ok guys. Please en light me. Admindaemon runs with root privilages, but Groupware on open-xchange. Why ?

[Carsten Hoeger]

Ok guys. Please en light me. Admindaemon runs with root privilages, but Groupware on open-xchange. Why ?

Groupware runs as open-xchange because of security reasons.
Admindaemon runs with root privileges because it must be able to do actions with root privileges like configuring the system.
