When i initialize gerrit with "Listen on Port : 80" then it fails in
with error
Starting Gerrit Code Review: FAILED
error: cannot start Gerrit: exit status 1

But with port number 8080 it is working fine. Can someone please
advise why it is failing on port 80. See below logs from error.log. it
shows failure when port 80 is used and show success when 8080 is used
second time.

Port 80 requires root rights.

Run as                         [root]:

and it worked. fine.

but this is not recommended as then the application has full root privileges
which I would consider a security problem

   Anyone once met such a problem: When I want to install gerrit in server, I use following command:

[ro...@db-testing-dtsfs07.db01.baidu.com gerrit2]# sudo /usr/java/jdk1.6.0_22/bin/java -jar /home/gerrit2/software/gerrit-2.2.2.1.war init --batch -d /home/gerrit2/work_site

Generating SSH host key ... rsa(simple)... done

Initialized /home/gerrit2/work_site

Executing /home/gerrit2/work_site/bin/gerrit.sh start

Starting Gerrit Code Review: FAILED

error: cannot start Gerrit: exit status 1.

Some boys said if gerrit would be installed on port 8080, it should use sudo rights to do.  Here I do install it by root. Why such problem still exists? Would it be caused by installed inX86_64 Red hat. The following is error logs. Thank you very much.

What version of the Linux kernel are you running? It seems the JVM you
are using is not happy with the operating system kernel.

Thanks Shawn, the system and cpu information is following :
[ro...@db-testing-dtsfs07.db01.baidu.com work_site]# uname -a
Linux db-testing-dtsfs07.db01.baidu.com 2.6.9_5-4-0-5-fs12 #2 SMP Mon Dec 22 08:37:04 CST 2008 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

This server install Gij，I don't want to crush with it. so I use sudo /usr/java/ jdk1.6.0_22/bin/java -jar /home/gerrit2/software/gerrit-2.2.2.1.war init --batch -d  /home/gerrit2/work_site ... I want to install JDK 1.6 to try again.

Hi, I know why such problem appears.  Because my server's network to internet is disconnected. So when install gerrit , it needs to download Bouncy Csstle Crypto, So it could be installed successfully. Thanks again.  By the way, dose there exist any way to install gerrit without internet?

Hi Migratefish and Sean,

Migratefish, if you're install offline / without the Internet, you'd want to cache Maven repositories locally first. Maven repository for Gerrit Code Review's at http://code.google.com/p/gerrit-maven-repository/source/checkout

It doesn't seem to have BouncyCastle, so you'd have to download it from http://repo2.maven.org/maven2/org/bouncycastle/

If you'd like an introduction about Maven Repositories and caching, see http://maven.apache.org/guides/introduction/introduction-to-repositories.html

Sean may be able to better explain the relationship between your installation experience with Gerrit and BouncyCastle, and expectations you should have in using Maven repository for Gerrit.

I hope above information helps!

Cheers,

If the JARs (bouncycastle, and possibly the mysql jdbc driver) are already in the $site_path/lib, then Gerrit shouldn't download them, and therefore shouldn't need Internet access.

Hi ，Thanks. You are right. It could be installed without internet.  The real reason for failure is our linux is too old to support
sun.nio.ch.ePollSelectorProvider  . So when using command java, you should add   -Djava.nio.channels.spi.SelectorProvider=sun.nio.ch.PollSelectorProvider  as parameter.  By the way, you should replace the line   RUN_ARGS="-jar $GERRIT_WAR daemon -d $GERRIT_SITE" in $site_path/bin/gerrit.sh from
RUN_ARGS="-Djava.nio.channels.spi.SelectorProvider=sun.nio.ch.PollSelectorProvider -jar $GERRIT_WAR daemon -d $GERRIT_SITE" .

   Thanks all our you again.

I was having this same issue with a test server.

Turns out we did this:

1) Gerrit is started/stopped as root already.  But in the gerrit.config we have:

container.user = {a non-root account name}
 
     which is the local account we use for Gerrit operations - note it is not "root".

2) In gerrit.config we also have:

httpd.listenUrl = http://*:8081/

     You can use 8080 if you want - or any other port higher than 1024.

3) In:

/etc/httpd/conf/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf

    we have a "<VirtualHost *:80>" block which contains these items (among other things):

ProxyRequests Off
ProxyVia Off
ProxyPreserveHost On
<Proxy *>
Order deny,allow
Allow from all
</Proxy>
ProxyPass / http://127.0.0.1:8081/ nocanon


This seems to take care of the problem.

The httpd and GerritCodeReview processes can now start as different users.
