Re: tcp socket permission (chroot linux in android)

[Johan Nestaas]

Hi Steve,

Did you ever get this to work?

I'm running into the same issue, chroot into Debian Wheezy with postgresql-9.1:

2013-12-17 18:39:47 UTC FATAL:  could not create any TCP/IP sockets

2013-12-17 18:41:02 UTC LOG:  could not create IPv4 socket: Permission denied

Thanks,

Johan

Hello,

I am using a debian chroot environment inside my android phone and try to install postgresql.

postgresql is using the user "postgres" but is unable to bind a socket.

I tried as root (on mysqld, because postgresql cannot be run as root by config). Working but a real security mess - ah, and i need postgre ;)

How to permit socket access for a user (inside a chroot)?

// example 

root@android-b:~# ping 127.0.0.1
PING 127.0.0.1 (127.0.0.1) 56(84) bytes of data.
64 bytes from 127.0.0.1: icmp_req=1 ttl=64 time=0.407 ms

root@android-b:~# su postgres
postgres@android-b:/root$ ping 127.0.0.1
socket: Permission denied


Many thanks!
