Error: standard in must be a tty

[Robbie Edwards]

Hi,

So I'm trying to get a new shiny server up and running.  Using the tutorial app http://rstudio.github.io/shiny/tutorial/#hello-shiny, I can enter R, use runApp() and it works perfectly.

However, when I try to run shiny-server from the command line, I get the error:

An error has occurred...

standard in must be a tty

The log file only reads the same.  No idea where to start to debug this.  Can anyone provide some direction?

What Linux distro are you using? Are you running shiny-server from SSH? Can you tell us the exact command you entered to run shiny-server?

OS is Centos 6.4.

I'm running shiny-server from my bash prompt.  Literally, $shiny-server.

I think the only unusual thing about my setup is that I set run_as to be my user name and put the site_dir in a subfolder in my home directory.  

Thanks for the help.

Is there a logging level flag somewhere I missing to get more information?

If you're using 0.3.6 of shiny-server or earlier, you need to run it as root--I bet that's the problem.

(The version of shiny-server on GitHub won't require root, but it's not quite to the point that we'd recommend it for production deployments.)

Yea, works when run as root.  Thanks for your help.

hi Joe,  I catch the same error by starting shiny with a common user.  However I donot have root priviledges, any suggestion?
