Topic: Troubleshooting Installation of Mingle / 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.
