Description Aleisha Amohia 2024-04-09 00:53:13 UTC
koha-zebra is unable to stop and start a zebra process if ownership on /var/run/koha/instancename is wrong

it already checks permissions on the relevant log files, it should also check on this directory

Bug 36548: koha-zebra should fix ownership on /var/run/koha/instancename files

This patch ensures the /var/run/koha/instancename/* files are owned by instancename-koha so zebra can start and stop as expected.

To test, confirm that:

1. starting and stopping zebra using `koha-zebra` works as expected
2. all files in /var/run/koha/instancename/ are owned by instancename-koha

Using KTD, the patch also changes the permissions for the file z3950-responder.pid - they are root before the patch is applied. I don't know what effect this will have, or whether it is currently incorrect.

Happy to sign off if you consider there are no issues.

Z3950-responder information: https://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Setting_up_the_Z39.50_and_SRU_Server

Before the patch (using KTD), the permissions are:

Comment 4 David Nind 2024-05-02 23:30:30 UTC
More information from when trying to restart the z3950 responder:

sudo koha-z3950-responder --restart kohadev
Restarting Z39.50/SRU daemon for kohadev:Stopping Z39.50/SRU daemon for kohadev:start-stop-daemon: matching only on non-root pidfile /var/run/koha/kohadev/z3950-responder.pid is insecure
 failed!
 failed!

If I change it back to being owned by root, it restarts as normal:

sudo koha-z3950-responder --restart kohadev
Restarting Z39.50/SRU daemon for kohadev:Stopping Z39.50/SRU daemon for kohadev:.

Should this be FQA? Sounds like it to me.
