Description Sönke Schwardt-Krummrich

2014-07-25 09:52:03 CEST

The directory /var/run/univention-management-console/ is missing after UMC startup/restart. The directory is required by the UMC modules to put a socket file in there.

Within the postinst of di-univention-system-setup a workaround has been added, that should be removed once the bug is fixed.

Please not that /var/run/ (and /run) contain data, which is only relevant for the current boot; They are often placed in a tmpfs or are cleaned up on shutdown / reboot to prune stale process data. Any directory or file therein should be created each time by the corresponding /etc/init.d/ scripts.

(In reply to Philipp Hahn from comment #1)
Well, there is no init script for "umc-module". Nevertheless the directory will be created by "umc-module" before starting the new module server process if it doesn't exists.

The workaround has been removed.
