Trying to start a unicorn daemon as a non-root user but failing hard.
Unicorn gives the the following error:
directory for pid=/var/run/sinatra_test/sinatra_test.pid not writable
So I made the following:
sudo mkdir /var/run/sinatra_test
sudo chown ruby:www-data /var/run/sinatra_test
sudo chmod g+w /var/run/sinatra_test
ls -ld /var/run/sinatra_test returns:
drwxrwxr-x 2 ruby www-data 60 Oct 27 09:55 /var/run/sinatra_test
What am I missing? Still getting Permission denied errors.
Most probably you got some leftover with pid file (/var/run/sinatra_test/sinatra_test.pid).
Did you killed your app (kill -9 )?
If application is down, then verify if there is this pid file – if there is – please remove it. And retry to start it again.
