Release Note
|
| Description |
|
Due to some installation problems, the customer tried to run /opt/NorthScale/bin/northscale as root and things broke. The logs were spewing with memcached crash messages and it took a little while to diagnose.
Assuming that someone is going to try and do that again, we should put in some better messaging saying that you can't do that. |

| This definitely wont' be happening in beta2. |

| This should be fixed in the init script. |
| Comment by Perry Krug [ 20/Jul/10 ] |
| I don't think the problem is within the init script. The problem here is when running the actual binary as root...the init script works just fine. |

/opt/northscale/bin/northscale is a script that's put there by the RPM installer. Reassigning back to the correct component. |

| Sean and I discussed the a bit and agreed that a simple check within the /opt/northscale/bin/northscale script to make sure that it's not being run as root is appropriate. |
