Description

Steps to reproduce (on a fresh Ubuntu 11 64 bit Desktop):

Add Caucho's Debian repository to your system's repositories to use automated update tools like Synaptic and apt-get. To do this, add the following line to your /etc/apt/sources.list

deb http://caucho.com/download/debian [^] unstable multiverse

Then install Resin as follows:

Notes
(0005679) rickHigh 01-25-12 16:47	Looks like perhaps www-data user was created but resin user was not. The old deb install created www-data (or used the one that was already there). No "resin" $ cat /etc/passwd \| cut -d":" -f1 \| grep resin www-data user. $ cat /etc/passwd \| cut -d":" -f1 \| grep www-data www-data www-data $ cat /etc/group \| grep www-data www-data:x:33: $ cat /etc/passwd \| grep www-data www-data:x:33:33:www-data:/var/www:/bin/sh

(0005680) rickHigh 01-25-12 16:51	I think all I have to do is add user resin sudo useradd resin then chown /var/www and var/log/resin to resin from www-data

(0005681) rickHigh 01-25-12 22:02	This not is for the person that googles this for 4.0.25 and is looking for a working solution. $ sudo useradd resin $ sudo chown resin /var/log/resin/ $ sudo chown resin /var/www/ $ sudo resinctl start If all goes well.... $ resinctl status Resin/4.0.25 status for watchdog at 127.0.0.1:6600 watchdog: watchdog-pid: 20790 server 'app-0' : ACTIVE password: missing watchdog-user: root user: resin(resin) root: /var/www conf: /etc/resin/resin.xml pid: 20965 uptime: 0 days 00h00
