69746 - Should fail in a more friendly manner if wrong server group set.

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Bugzilla :: Installation & Upgrading, defect, P3)

Description

[Matthew Tuck [:CodeMachine]]

I didn't remember to update the web server group on local config and
checksetup.pl complained.

An informative error message would be nice.

Checking user setup ...
Use of uninitialized value in chown at ./checksetup.pl line 529 (#1)
    
    (W uninitialized) An undefined value was used as if it were already defined.
 It was
    interpreted as a "" or a 0, but maybe it was a mistake.  To suppress this
    warning assign a defined value to your variables.

[Dave Miller [:justdave]]

We are currently trying to wrap up Bugzilla 2.16.  We are now close enough to
release time that anything that wasn't already ranked at P1 isn't going to make
the cut.  Thus this is being retargetted at 2.18.  If you strongly disagree with
this retargetting, please comment, however, be aware that we only have about 2
weeks left to review and test anything at this point, and we intend to devote
this time to the remaining bugs that were designated as release blockers.

[Joel Peshkin]

These unloved bugs have been sitting untouched since June 2002 or longer.  If
nobody does anything else to them, they certainly won't make 2.18
Retargetting to 2.20.  If you really plan to push them right now, you might pull
them back in.

This bug has not been touched by its owner in over six months, even though it is
targeted to 2.20, for which the freeze is 10 days away. Unsetting the target
milestone, on the assumption that nobody is actually working on it or has any
plans to soon.

If you are the owner, and you plan to work on the bug, please give it a real
target milestone. If you are the owner, and you do *not* plan to work on it,
please reassign it to [e-mail] or a .bugs component owner. If you are
*anybody*, and you get this comment, and *you* plan to work on the bug, please
reassign it to yourself if you have the ability.

[Frédéric Buclin]

mkanat, is this bug still valid?? I don't think so.

Comment 6

[Max Kanat-Alexander]

Yeah, we must have fixed this some time ago. checksetup now goes:

no such group: apacheoo at ./checksetup.pl line 783.
