Updating cherokee

Hi!

I am trying to update my version of cherokee.
I want to update it to the latest release version. Currently I run server as
root, and want to switch the process owner to default user of the system
will the option: --with-wwwuser=oleg do this work?

Also after running this command I noticed that:
./configure --with-mysql=no --with-wwwuser=oleg
--with-wwwroot=/var/www/oleg/data/cherokee

Warning: You have an old copy of Cherokee at /usr/sbin/cherokee.

What should I do now?

You ought to add the --prefix=/usr parameter. Otherwise, Cherokee would be
installed in /usr/local instead of in /usr, as it currently is.

Re: Updating cherokee [In reply to]

Well have few questions:

1) Shell I ignore Warning: You have an old copy of Cherokee at
/usr/sbin/cherokee
2) How do I stop/disable/uninstall previous version

Thanks in advance,
Oleg

No. It warns you able a potential issue. Things could get messy if you
install Cherokee in various locations in the same system.

In your case, your previous version is installed in /usr, while the new one
would be installed in /usr/local (unless you add the --prefix=/usr
parameter).

You could run "make uninstall" from the previous source directory, although
that is not really necessary. If you overwrite the old version with the new
one, everything should work just fine.

Re: Updating cherokee [In reply to]

:(...

1) After I typed: ./configure --with-mysql=no --with-wwwuser=oleg
--prefix=/usr --with-wwwroot=/var/www/oleg/data/cherokee

It said:
Installation dir /usr/bin
============================

Thank you for using Cherokee.

So seems it will not install it in same location :(

2) I deleted previous sources.. Is there other way?

That is just a warning to let you know there is something else there,
not an actual installation error.
Just go ahead and: make && sudo make install

You can check what arguments you used to configure your previous
cherokee with "cherokee -i".
You'll find --prefix=/usr was also used, hence having the binary under
/usr/sbin/cherokee. At least that is what I have on my system and can
assure you I overwrite it quite often with no problems ;-)

Re: Updating cherokee [In reply to]

Just did it...

But but I am a little bit confused about the results :(

After I typed make install and rebooted the server, I typed:

-bash-3.2$ which cherokee
/usr/sbin/cherokee
-bash-3.2$ cherokee -i
Compilation
Version: 0.99.24
Compiled on: Oct 16 2009 14:33:36
Arguments to configure: '--with-mysql=no' '--with-wwwuser=oleg'
'--prefix=/usr' '--with-wwwroot=/var/www/oleg/data/cherokee'

Installation
Deps dir: /usr/share/cherokee/deps
Data dir: /usr/share/cherokee
Icons dir: /usr/share/cherokee/icons
Themes dir: /usr/share/cherokee/themes
Plug-in dir: /usr/lib/cherokee

Plug-ins
Built-in:

Support
IPv6: yes
Pthreads: yes
Tracing: no
sendfile(): yes
syslog(): yes
Polling methods: select poll epoll

So the version is really up-to-date (previous one was 0.99.22)

But, I don't understand why it still started by root user? Any ideas?

-bash-3.2$ ps aux | grep cherokee
root 15922 0.0 0.0 2032 484 ? Ss 14:45 0:00
/usr/sbin/cherokee -d -C /etc/cherokee/cherokee.conf

Re: Updating cherokee [In reply to]

Actually I have one assumption..

I use cherokee to serve django in threaded mode. So only one process is
started per virtual server.

May it be the reason why I see root, as process owner instead of oleg?

Also will it also mean that all media files, I uploaded with it will be
stored with root permissions (e.g. root is owner)

Cherokee always runs a single cherokee-worker process, regardless of the
configuration.

No. I suppose that the reason is simply that you didn't configure Cherokee
to run under any other user. Please, double check in cherokee-admin whether
an alternative user has been defined:

General (menu) -> Server Permissions (tab) -> User

Re: Updating cherokee [In reply to]

Also I noticed that my new config file have these permissions:

-bash-3.2$ ls -la /usr/etc/cherokee/cherokee.conf
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 12658 Oct 16 16:21 /usr/etc/cherokee/cherokee.conf
-bash-3.2$

So maybe it's impassible to run everything with permissions: user:oleg,
group:oleg

Re: Updating cherokee [In reply to]

ok. Sorry for spam! I just found exact steps which lead me to the following
error:

1. If I don't touch both General (menu) -> Server Permissions (tab) -> User,
and same option in Information Sources (where I can set user:group for
source
individually) it works fine
2. But if I change either Server Permissions, or Information Sources, and
set there user:oleg, and group:oleg, I got the error I posted before

Sorry for spam again!

Thanks,
Oleg

Hm... are you sure every permission is set correctly? If you had
processes running as root, you might have sockets, pidfiles and logfiles
that are not accessible to oleg:oleg.
I have no idea if this is related to your problem, by the way, but it is
worth to check it out ;-)

Anyway, if it is in fact a bug you should log a bug report so we can
track the problem. (http://bugs.cherokee-project.com/)
If that's the case, please do.

Re: Updating cherokee [In reply to]

Ok,

I will check check permissions on sockets, and pids, and log files. (btw,
how should I change permissions for them)?

Re: Updating cherokee [In reply to]

Hi team!

I just managed to fix it. It became fixed after I changed permissions under
/tmp directory, and switched it to oleg oleg from root root

I wonder if it will be broken after rebooting...
