Description

The Git install guide tells you to run this command from the API server:

sudo -u webserver-user RAILS_ENV=production `which rvm-exec` default bundle exec ./script/create_superuser_token.rb

We have multiple reports that this doesn't work on Ubuntu—one precise, one trusty.

  • Target version deleted (Arvados Future Sprints)

I had trouble reproducing this. I took the current ubuntu:trusty Docker image, and built it up following the API server install guide. After I finished that, I was able to run the line without any issues (except the usual .git warnings).

One person suggested that the ownerships of /var/www/arvados-api needed to be set to www-data; and www-data needed a real shell (it's nologin on trusty). However, my Docker container has root ownership on that directory, and nologin as the shell, and the line still works.

Just as a note - Emyr had this issue on Precise, not Trusty.
