Ubuntu Log creation permission issues after Fabric build - django

My Django app is built on a VM Ubuntu instance via a Fabric script ran from my local dev machine as root with sudo. The Fabric script sets up a folder in:
/var/log/FOLDERNAME
and the app is set to log all log data into it.
However after each build even though the right permissions (group & folder) exist on the folder (ls -all confirms it) the log files have trouble getting generated unless I SSH to the box after each Fabric build and physically type in:
sudo chmod 777 /var/log/FOLDERNAME -Rf
... then everything works fine.
Can anyone please shed some light and/or point me in the right direction to solve this?
Cheers!

use put with mode to setup your logfile folder with permissions.
put('yourlogfile', 'yourlogfile', mode=0755)
A sidenote: Using chmod 777 is generally not a good idea. If your VM is running ubuntu your apache runs by default as www-data. chown www-data and r-w permissions for this user/group should be enough.

Laravel 5.4 AWS server

I have created a Laravel project in laravel 5.4 and i have made it live using AWS server . Now the issue I face is I have to provide the 777 permission to storage folder very frequently and due to this the site is not working properly. Can anyone help me with this as what can be the issue ? I have already given 777 permission to storage folder but somehow the permission changes and site stops as it cannot write log in log file. Thanks in advance
Ideally giving 777 permissions means who have open the access to ANYONE in the world who can access your storage with all Read/Write permissions.
You need to assign permission to your Web server to access the Directories and files which you can do in following way:
www-XXX can be your webserver user
sudo chown -R www-xxx:www-xxx /path/to/your/laravel/root/directory
Now in order to grant the storage level permissions to your webserver you need to execute the below commands
sudo chgrp -R www-data storage bootstrap/cache
sudo chmod -R ug+rwx storage bootstrap/cache

How to start odoo server automatically when system is ON

Haii everyone
How to start Odoo server automatically when system is ON.
Normally i searched in google i had found a link " http://www.serpentcs.com/serpentcs-odoo-auto-startup-script-322 "
i follow the each and every step and i started the odoo-server
ps -ax | grep python
5202 ? Sl 0:01 python /home/tejaswini/Odoo_workspace/workspace_8/odoo8/openerp-server --config /etc/odoo-server.conf --logfile /var/log/odoo-server.log
it is showing the server path also
but when i run 0.0.0.0:8069/localhost:8069 in browser it is running
shows This site can’t be reached
please any one help me
Thanks in advance
To start a service automatically when the system turns on, you need to put that service into init script. Try below command
sudo update-rc.d <service_name> defaults
In your case,
sudo update-rc.d odoo-server defaults
Hope it will help you.
For the final step we need to install a script which will be used to start-up and shut down the server automatically and also run the application as the correct user. There is a script you can use in /opt/odoo/debian/init but this will need a few small modifications to work with the system installed the way I have described above. here is the link
Similar to the configuration file, you need to either copy it or paste the contents of this script to a file in /etc/init.d/ and call it odoo-server. Once it is in the right place you will need to make it executable and owned by root:
sudo chmod 755 /etc/init.d/odoo-server
sudo chown root: /etc/init.d/odoo-server
In the configuration file there’s an entry for the server’s log file. We need to create that directory first so that the server has somewhere to log to and also we must make it writeable by the openerp user:
sudo mkdir /var/log/odoo
sudo chown odoo:root /var/log/odoo

Cannot chmod file on Openshift online v3 : Operation not permitted

I am migrating a Django application from Openshift v2 to v3 (In case you don't know, RedHat is shutting down v2 on September 30th, see: https://blog.openshift.com/migrate-to-v3-v2-eol/)
So, I am following this blog post to help me: https://blog.openshift.com/migrating-django-applications-openshift-3/ . I am new to all these Docker / Kubernetes concepts the new version is build upon.
I was able to make some progress : I managed to get a successful build of my app. Yet it crashes at deployment time:
---> Running application from script (app.sh) ...
/usr/libexec/s2i/run: line 42: /opt/app-root/src/app.sh: Permission denied
Indeed, app.sh has lost its x permission. I log into the failing container as debug and see it:
> oc debug dc/<my app>
> (app-root)sh-4.2$ ls -l /opt/app-root/src/app.sh
-rw-rw-r--. 1 default root 127 Sep 6 21:20 /opt/app-root/src/app.sh
The blog posts states "Ensure that the app.sh file is executable by running chmod +x app.sh.", which I did on my local repo. Whatever, I want to do it again directly in the pod, but it doesn't work:
(app-root)sh-4.2$ chmod +x /opt/app-root/src/app.sh
chmod: changing permissions of ‘/opt/app-root/src/app.sh’: Operation not permitted
So, how can I set the x permission to app.sh ? Thank you
Without looking into more details, any S2I builder image will gladly use your custom supplied run script to start the application in an alternative way.
Create .s2i/bin/ (mind the dot) in your source code directory, place the run script into it and rebuild the app in OpenShift - it will automatically use your custom run script upon deployment.
This is the preferred way of starting applications using custom commands in OpenShift.
Regarding your immediate problem, there is a very simple reason why you can not change the permissions of the script: you were trying to modify the permissions in the deployed pod, and not the builder pod. Deployed pods run using different UIDs, usually somewhere in the range of 100000000, and definitely do not match the file ownership as generated by the build. Hence permission denied.
The root cause of your problem (app.sh losing executable permissions) must be in the way the build process installs those files, and indeed looking at the /usr/libexec/s2i/assemble script in the base image does seem to reveal the culprit. The last two lines are:
# set permissions for any installed artifacts
fix-permissions /opt/app-root
If you wanted to change this part of the build instead of using a custom run script, I suggest you then create .s2i/bin/assemble in your project's source code and make it look sort of like this:
#!/bin/bash
echo "Running stock build:"
${STI_SCRIPTS_PATH}/assemble
echo "Fixing the mess:"
chmod 755 /opt/app-root/src/app.sh
This will fix whatever the stock build process does to file permissions, and will do it using the same UID as the rest of the build, so file ownership shouldn't be an issue.
as I stumbled upon this issue myself I've found a way to resolve it.
You have to make your file app.sh executable and push it in your repo as such.
If git does not track this modification as it did for me, you have to use: git update-index --chmod=+x app.sh for it to work.

AWS post deploy directory permission change

I am deploying to Elastic Beanstalk with Deploybot. I need to change directory permissions for /app/tmp after deployment. The tmp directory in my cake 2 installation becomes unwritable and so forces an error.
Can anyone tell me how to do this (bearing in mind im using Deplybot and not the EB CLI)?
Thanks
You should be able to use a Container Command to chmod the directory appropriately. Something like this should work:
.ebextensions/01-chmod.config
container_commands:
chmod-tmp:
command: "chmod 777 /app/tmp"
Right.... couldn't get the container commands to do what I wanted so came at it from the other direction.
Put .gitignore files in all the tmp folders and set the content to:
*
!.gitignore
This ignored all the files but kept the folders.

Redis telling me "Failed opening .rdb for saving: Permission denied"

I'm running Redis server 2.8.17 on a Debian server 8.5. I'm using Redis as a session store for a Django 1.8.4 application.
I haven't changed the software configuration on my server for a couple of months and everything was working just fine until a week ago when Django began raising the following error:
MISCONF Redis is configured to save RDB snapshots but is currently not able to persist to disk. Commands that may modify the data set are disabled. Please check Redis logs for details...
I checked the redis log and saw this happening about once a second:
1 changes in 900 seconds. Saving...
Background saving started by pid 22213
Failed opening .rdb for saving: Permission denied
Background saving error
I've read these two SO questions 1, 2 but they haven't helped me find the problem.
ps shows that user "redis" is running the server:
redis 26769 ... /usr/bin/redis-server *.6379
I checked my config file for the redis file name and path:
grep ^dir /etc/redis/redis.conf =>
dir /var/lib/redis
grep ^dbfilename /etc =>
dbfilename dump.rdb
The permissons on /var/lib/redis are 755 and it's owned by redis:redis.
The permissons on /var/lib/redis/dump.rdb are 644 and it's owned by redis:redis too.
I also ran strace on the server process:
ps -C redis-server # pid = 26769
sudo strace -p 26769 -o /tmp/strace.out
But when I examine the output, I don't see any errors. In particular I don't see a "Permission denied" error as I would expect.
Also, /var/lib/redis is not an NFS directory.
Does anyone know what else could be causing this? I'd hate to have to stop using Redis. I know I can run the command "set stop-writes-on-bgsave-error yes" but that doesn't solve the problem.
This is now happening on a daily basis and the only way I can stop the error is to restart the Redis server.
Thanks.
I just had a similar issue. Despite my config file being correct, when I checked the actual dbfilename and dir in redis-client, they were incorrect.
Run redis-cli and then
CONFIG GET dbfilenamewhich should return something like
1) "dbfilename"
2) "dump.rdb"
1) is just the key and 2) the value. Similarly then run CONFIG GET dir should return something like
1) "dir"
2) "/var/lib/redis"
Confirm that these are correct and if not, set them with CONFIG SET dir /correct/path
Hope this helps!
If you have moved Redis to a new mounted volume: /mnt/data-01.
sudo vim /etc/systemd/system/redis.service
Set ReadWriteDirectories=-/mnt/data-01
sudo mkdir /mnt/data-01/redis
Set chown and chmod on new redis data dir and rdb file.
The permissons on /var/lib/redis are 755 and it's owned by redis:redis
The permissons on /var/lib/redis/dump.rdb are 644 and it's owned by redis:redis
Switch configurations while redis is running
$ redis-cli
127.0.0.1:6379> CONFIG SET dir /data/tmp
redis-cli 127.0.0.1:6379> CONFIG SET dbfilename temp.rdb
127.0.0.1:6379> BGSAVE
tail /var/log/redis/redis.cnf (verify saved)
Start Redis Server in a directory where Redis has write permissions
The answers above will definitely solve your problem, but here's what's actually going on:
The default location for storing the rdb.dump file is ./ (denoting current directory). You can verify this in your redis.conf file. Therefore, the directory from where you start the redis server is where a dump.rdb file will be created and updated.
Since you say your redis server has been working fine for a while and this just started happening, it seems you have started running the redis server in a directory where redis does not have the correct permissions to create the dump.rdb file.
To make matters worse, redis will also probably not allow you to shut down the server either until it is able to create the rdb file to ensure the proper saving of data.
To solve this problem, you must go into the active redis client environment using redis-cli and update the dir key and set its value to your project folder or any folder where non-root has permissions to save. Then run BGSAVE to invoke the creation of the dump.rdb file.
CONFIG SET dir "/hardcoded/path/to/your/project/folder"
BGSAVE
(Now, if you need to save the dump.rdb file in the directory that you started the server in, then you will need to change permissions for the directory so that redis can write to it. You can search stackoverflow for how to do that).
You should now be able to shut down the redis server. Note that we hardcoded the path. Hardcoding is rarely a good practice and I highly recommend starting the redis server from your project directory and changing the dir key back to./`.
CONFIG SET dir "./"
BGSAVE
That way when you need redis for another project, the dump file will be created in your current project's directory and not in the hardcoded path's project directory.
You can resolve this problem by going into the redis-cli
Type redis-cli in the terminal
Then write config set stop-writes-on-bgsave-error no and it resolved my problem.
Hope it resolved your problem
Up to redis 3.2 it shipped with pretty insane defaults which opened the port to the public. In combination with the CONFIG SET instruction everybody can change your redis config from outside easily. If the error starts after some time, someone probably changed your config.
On your local machine check that
telnet SERVER_IP REDIS_PORT
is denied. Otherwise check your config, you should have the setting
bind 127.0.0.1
enabled.
Dependent on the user that runs redis, you should also check for damage that the intruder has done.
