Topic: Problem with Templates in Mingle 2.0

Abie -

It should not be necessary to run Mingle as root. In fact, we do not encourage you to do that. So long as the mingle user has full privileges on the mingle install directory and its subdirectories, Mingle should be fine. Any chance you could forward mingle.log to our support team?

Topic: Problem with Templates in Mingle 2.0

I had the same problem importing a project exported from Mingle 1.1 and importing templates. I am running on Ubuntu 7.10. Importing works OK when I run ”/opt/mingle/MingleServer start” from a root terminal. When I start Mingle2 normally from my /etc/init.d/mingled script importing gives the “export file corrupt” message, but everything else seems to work. The templates are owned by mingle:mingle.
My startup script is as follows:

!/bin/bash

1. description: JRuby Mingle #
2. modified from thoughtworks studios script in the forums #
   MINGLE_USER=mingle
   [ -z ”$MINGLE_USER” ] && MINGLE_USER=nobody
   RETVAL=0
   start(){ su – $MINGLE_USER -c ”/opt/mingle/MingleServer start”
   }
   stop(){ su – $MINGLE_USER -c ”/opt/mingle/MingleServer stop”
   }
   case ”$1” in start) start ;; stop) stop ;; restart) stop start ;; *) echo $”Usage: $0 {start|stop|restart}” RETVAL=1
   esac
   exit $RETVAL

When I change this to MINGLE_USER=root at the start, importing works ok.

Hope this helps.

Hi -

This is not a known issue.

Does the application appear to otherwise be working?

Which installer are you using?

What is the exact size of each of the three template files? Can you open them using a standard ‘unzip’ program?
