[Puppet Users] [Dashboard] permission denied error when using apache

Hi all,

I''m running into javascript errors using Puppet Dashboard behind an
Apache2/Passenger setup.

"Permission denied -
/usr/share/puppet-dashboard/public/javascripts/all.js"

The permissions inside public/ are ok. The whole public folder is owned by the
Apache user.
And I''m able to browse anything I put inside the javascripts folder.

What''s really strange about this is that it only happens with the
Apache2/Passenger setup.
When I kill the apache daemon and start the puppet-dashboard init script instead
the Dashboard does show up in my browser.

If anyone needs more information that what''s provided below, please let
me know.

Regards,
TomDV

Debian squeeze
Apache 2.2.11 (debian repo)

Both files don''t exist on the filesystem, nor are they supplied in the
package.

# dpkg -c puppet-dashboard_1.2.1-1_all.deb | grep -iE
''all.css|all.js''
#

I don''t get why this fails with Apache/Passenger and not with Webrick.

Re: [Puppet Users] [Dashboard] permission denied error when using apache

Just FYI/FWIW ... Passenger tries to run (setuid) as the user that owns
config.ru... not as the apache user.
