Brandon Williams commented on CASSANDRA-4058:
---------------------------------------------
My point is that the 'cassandra' user's home directory is /var/lib/cassandra,
so it should already own it when the package creates this user. If you ahead
of time create this directory with the wrong permissions, that is your mistake
to correct, not the package's to solve with brute force.
> Debian package does not create /var/lib/cassandra/data

> Key: CASSANDRA-4058
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-4058
> Project: Cassandra
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Packaging
> Environment: Ubuntu 11.10
> Reporter: Jacob Fenwick
>
> I installed Cassandra using the Debian packages as described here:
> http://wiki.apache.org/cassandra/DebianPackaging
> When trying to start Cassandra using /etc/init.d/cassandra start I get this
> error: java.io.IOError: java.io.IOException: unable to mkdirs
> /var/lib/cassandra/data
> The directory /var/lib/cassandra exists, but the directory
> /var/lib/cassandra/data does not.
> I would assume the data directory should have been created with the correct
> permissions, but it was not.
> However, I tried creating /var/lib/cassandra/data and setting it the
> permissions to 666 and setting the user/group to cassandra/cassandra, and now
> I get this error:
> java.lang.AssertionError: Directory /var/lib/cassandra/data is not accessible.
> So what could possibly be the problem here?
