Package: trafficserver Version: 7.1.2+ds-3~bpo9+1 X-Debbugs-CC: debian-backports@lists.debian.org, aron@debian.org, debian@jbfavre.org Hi all, After having a memory leak (~2MB/min) in stable/trafficserver I installed stretch-backports/trafficserver and the memory leak seems fixed, only cached memory is increasing, not used real. However, when rebooting, trafficserver was not able to start normally: > Jul 18 09:09:59 host systemd[1]: Started Apache Traffic Server is a fast, scalable and extensible caching proxy server.. > Jul 18 09:09:59 host traffic_cop[3019]: binpath is bin > Jul 18 09:09:59 host traffic_cop[3019]: unable to locate local state directory '/var/run/trafficserver' > Jul 18 09:09:59 host traffic_cop[3019]: please try setting correct root path in either env variable TS_ROOT > Jul 18 09:09:59 host systemd[1]: trafficserver.service: Main process exited, code=exited, status=1/FAILURE > Jul 18 09:09:59 host systemd[1]: trafficserver.service: Unit entered failed state. > Jul 18 09:09:59 host systemd[1]: trafficserver.service: Failed with result 'exit-code’. Upon investigation (googling) I found a CentOS 7 post (http://apache-traffic-server.24303.n7.nabble.com/Traffic-server-fails-to-start-Centos-7-td3574.html) about the same issue, the thread recommended using RuntimDirectory=trafficserver and RunTimeDirectoryPreserve=restart in trafficservers service-file. This did not work either as the directory was created with a sid/gid of root/root and not trafficserver/trafficserver. I then tried using PermissionsStartOnly=True and setting User=,Group= to trafficserver, but as trafficserver chroots(?) itself I got this error instead: > Jul 18 09:51:46 host traffic_manager[4268]: Fatal: failed to acquire privileged capabilities: Operation not permitted I tried another thing, which I can’t remember now of course, but I got the following error for that: > Jul 18 09:55:21 host traffic_manager[4464]: Fatal: [LocalManager::initMgmtProcessServer] failed to bind socket at /var/run/trafficserver/processerver.sock Either way, I ended up using tmpfiles.d: > root@host:~# cat /etc/tmpfiles.d/trafficserver.conf > #Type Path Mode UID GID Age Argument > d /run/trafficserver 0755 trafficserver trafficserver - Which after another reboot worked just fine. I’m sure there is a more elegant fix for this, but shy of ExecStartPre=mkdir … I wasn’t able to figure out any other way. Seeing as trafficserver can’t start after a normal reboot, I thought I should report this. I’ve also tested this on a fresh install of Debian 9.5 with the same error. -- System Information: > root@host:~# uname -a > Linux host 4.9.0-7-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 4.9.110-1 (2018-07-05) x86_64 GNU/Linux > root@host:~# lsb_release -a > No LSB modules are available. > Distributor ID: Debian > Description: Debian GNU/Linux 9.5 (stretch) > Release: 9.5 > Codename: stretch Thanks, David — David Brodin Sveriges Radio AB Phone: +46 (0)8 784 2329 Email: david.brodin@sr.se https://sr.se/
