sudo su edxapp not working

[Ahmad Abd Arrahman]

I just updated my devstack using vagrant provision then when running sudo su edxapp nothing happens, the prompt still the same vagrant@precise64:~$ event it is not changing to the edx-platform dir.
any hints how to figure out what is wrong?

BTW sudo su forum is working fine

[Dmitry Makovey]

it may have something to do with the fact that edxapp and forum have shell set to /bin/false

try using "sudo su -m edxapp" instead.

[Mayuri Karnik]

bash: /home/vagrant/share_x11: Permission denied

This is what I get when i try "sudo su -m edxapp". Please help

What I've been doing is "sudo su edxapp -s /bin/bash"

The -s flag is overriding the default shell (in the standard case is /bin/false) with the one that you're indicating (/bin/bash)

[Ned Batchelder]

Please double-check that you are dealing with a devstack installation.  You shouldn't have to override the shell if the installation was successful.  If your devstack doesn't let you change the user, then check the installation logs to find out what failed.

If you have a fullstack installation, then your shells will be set to /bin/false, since you shouldn't need shell access as those other users.
