Issue 613 in cherokee: Missing Log Files Cause 504 Gateway Errors on Initial Launch from Admin

Status: New
Owner: ----

New issue 613 by bkjones: Missing Log Files Cause 504 Gateway Errors on
Initial Launch from Admin
http://code.google.com/p/cherokee/issues/detail?id=613

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Install cherokee with commands taken exactly from getting started docs:
./configure --localstatedir=/var \
--prefix=/usr \
--sysconfdir=/etc \
--with-wwwroot=/var/www
2. Run cherokee-admin
3. Click 'launch' button on home screen of cherokee-admin

What is the expected output?
A message saying that the server started successfully.

What do you see instead?
A blank white screen that says nothing but "504 Gateway Timeout" in huge
black letters.


What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
0.99.24 on Ubuntu 9.04 server.

Please provide any additional information below.
At least one reason this happens is that log files don't exist. If I 'sudo
touch /var/log/cherokee.access /var/log/cherokee.error', sometimes I can
start the server. Other times there are issues with the server being
config'd to run by some default user that doesn't exist, or root, or
whatever. The getting started docs should mention the ./configure option to
set the user cherokee should run as, imo.

I think it colud be nice if at the make install and only if the the
parameters

--with-wwwuser=USER --with-wwwgroup=GROUP

are provided, it could set the right permissions to the log dir, instead of
wait that
the user set that permissions by his own.

That would suffice, if it were documented. Certainly better than newbies
being unable
to start Cherokee less than 5 minutes into their experience. It might even
suffice to
forego any code-related changes and just add documentation to help newbies
avoid this
pitfall.
