Foreman » Packaging

Issue with Foreman frontend Web UI after system reboot.

I found an issue from the /usr/lib/tmpfiles.d/rubygem-pasenger.conf file and what mod_passenger is looking for to create the pid file based on an error message from httpd error_log:
"Cannot create server instance directory '/var/run/rubygem-passenger/passenger.1.0.{pid}': No such file or directory"

The /usr/lib/tmpfiles.d/rubygem-pasenger.conf file, from the rubygem-passenger RPM, is creating /var/run/passenger instead of /var/run/rubygem-passenger which causes the Foreman frontend web service to display Forbidden access to "/".

I changed the tmpfiles.d config to create the rubygem-passenger directory and have not had an issue with reboots since.
