Hello list,
My RT project was stalled for a bit. I went to look how it’s been doing…
and it isn’t. I haven’t touched it in a while, so i’m not sure what to
trace this back to. I fixed it, but i’d like to know what happened.
I’m seeing this in the logs:
May 14 09:39:29 data postfix/local[4855]: 0C17C4560A4: to=<
rt@rt.phillycarshare.org>, relay=local, delay=0.12, delays=0.02/0/0/0.1,
dsn=4.3.0, status=deferred (temporary failure. Command output: RT server
error. The RT server which handled your email did not behave as expected.
It said: mkdir /opt/rt3/var/mason_data/obj/2098779359: Permission denied at
/usr/local/share/perl/5.8.8/HTML/Mason/Compiler/ToObject.pm line 107 )
ToObject.pm has this code block where line 107 appears, as marked:
if (defined $file && !-f $file) {
my ($dirname) = dirname($file);
if (!-d $dirname) {
unlink($dirname) if (-e _);
LINE 107 → push @newfiles, mkpath($dirname, 0, 0775);
system_error “Couldn’t create directory $dirname: $!”
unless -d $dirname;
}
rmtree($file) if (-d $file);
}
So, ok, it’s lost directory permissions somehow. While i wasn’t paying
attention to it. How??
How can i figure out what it’s trying to write to? Also, i noticed that the
“couldn’t create!” error is NOT appearing in the logs.
mkdir /opt/rt3/var/mason_data/obj/2098779359: Permission denied
in mason_data/ cache and etc are both owned by www-data, but obj is owned by
root and in the root group. I’m assuming it must also be accessible by the
webserver, but how could this have changed? chowning obj/ back to www-data
solved the issue, but i’d like to avoid whatever caused it.
Thanks,
Rob
