629975 - mkdir from checksetup.pl fails due to missing data directory

Status: UNCONFIRMED

(Bugzilla :: Installation & Upgrading, defect)

Description

[Devin Reade]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9.2.13) Gecko/20101209 CentOS/3.6-2.el5.centos Firefox/3.6.13
Build Identifier: http://www.bugzilla.org/download/#v40  (v4 RC2)

On a fresh install of v4.0 RC2, the 2nd invocation of checksetup.pl (just after editing the localconfig.site file -- for a multiproject installation) fails while creating data/site, because mkdir doesn't use the -p flag and the data directory does not yet exist.

If I manually create the data directory, then rerun checksetup.pl, then the installation succeeds.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Fresh install of v4.0 RC2 following documented procedures, up to:
2. export PROJECT=site
3. ./checksetup.pl
4. Edit localconfig.site
5. ./checksetup.pl



Actual Results:  
Output from checksetup.pl:

Inserting values into the 'op_sys' table:
'All'     sortkey: 100
'Windows' sortkey: 200
'Mac OS'  sortkey: 300
'Linux'   sortkey: 400
'Other'   sortkey: 500
Creating ./data/site directory...
mkdir ./data/site failed: No such file or directory at Bugzilla/Install/Filesystem.pm line 398.   


Expected Results:  
Script should run correctly to completion.


Multi-project installation.  Mysql backend.

FWIW, this means you never ran checksetup without a PROJECT. I'm not sure if Bugzilla even works in that situation.

Shouldn't we warn the admin in that case, then?
