Weird permissions problem

[Andreas Falk]

Hey,

I'm trying to start god and my other processes as a non root user but I've run into something that I've been trowing myself at for the past 5 hours and I have no idea what's wrong. When i try to start god with the init script here <https://gist.github.com/3918136> as root i get the log output as displayed in the above gist. God does start for a few seconds though and does create and write to its pid file and also writes to it's log file (which has the exact same permissions). Also i can't find /dev/null being used anywhere (which is writable by the user).

Anyone has any tips or experienced similar problems?

Regards,

Andreas Falk

Might seem crazy,  but make sure your /dev/null is a character device,  not a plain file. Your God config file would also be a helpful data point.

It's a character device. I've posted the god config files and also a log showing the permisions of the files.
