Upgrade version 1.7.0 died...!!!

[Dedé Alves]

Doing simply "yum update", made died rspamd, just upgraded from 1.6.5 stable.

How to debug the problem in this new version of rspamd..??!!

From an CentOS7 server, checking the file '/usr/lib/systemd/system/rspamd.service', I get the lines:

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

[Unit]

Description=rapid spam filtering system

After=nss-lookup.target network-online.target

Documentation=https://rspamd.com/doc/

[Service]

LimitNOFILE=1048576

NonBlocking=true

ExecStart=/usr/bin/rspamd -c /etc/rspamd/rspamd.conf -f

ExecReload=/bin/kill -HUP $MAINPID

User=_rspamd

RuntimeDirectory=rspamd

RuntimeDirectoryMode=0755

Restart=always

[Install]

WantedBy=multi-user.target

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Executing manualy the line "/usr/bin/rspamd -c /etc/rspamd/rspamd.conf -f", I get the following message:

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

2018-03-14 06:20:00 #13107(main) <66d762>; main; detect_priv: cannot run rspamd workers as root user, please add -u and -g options to select a proper unprivilleged user or specify --insecure flag

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

So, I try to change the 'rspamd.service' file with:

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

(...)

ExecStart=/usr/bin/rspamd -u _rspamd -g _rspamd -c /etc/rspamd/rspamd.conf -f

(...)

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

I get the following in '/var/log/rspamd/rspamd.log' file:

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

2018-03-14 05:51:20 #6320(main) <74322e>; main; main: rspamd 1.7.0 is starting, build id: release

2018-03-14 05:51:20 #6320(main) <74322e>; main; main: cannot write pid file /var/run/rspamd/rspamd.pid

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

So, seems there are a problem with '/var/run/rspamd/rspamd.pid' file.

But the directory '/var/run/rspamd/' doesn't exists.

I tried to create it, but at restarting the service (systemctl restart rspamd), this directory simply is removed again, and again, and again...

Someone had this problem with CentOS7 server..??!!

I found the solution. Stupid problem.

Checking my /var/log/messages file, I did find:

-------------------------------------------------------------

Mar 14 00:44:59 painel rspamd: open_log: cannot open desired log file: /var/log/rspamd/rspamd.log, Permission deniedFatal error, cannot open logfile, exiting

-------------------------------------------------------------

So, isn't not needed to change any configuration, just change ownership of that file:

# chown _rspamd:_rspamd /var/log/rspamd/rspamd.log

and the problem vanishes.

Hi,  

What changed in the release to cause this? Asking because your rspamd installation worked before.

[Dedé Alves]

Sophie,

Seems was the permissions on the file '/var/log/rspamd/rspamd.log'.

Before start, rspamd was trying to write that file, but it was running with root permissions.

So, after to correct the ownership of that file with 'chown' command with '_rspamd' user, rspamd started up normally.

ok?

Regards.
