CachetHQ will not start on OpenShift 3.6 php-fdm fails

[gamkiller77]

I am deploying the latest release of CachetHQ Docker on to OpenShift 3.6. When starting I am getting lots of errors that php-fdm can not load.

I tried to run php-pdm manually and I got basically the same error.

I was able to test a solution and it was able to start php-fdm. The fix is just below. php-fpm-pool.conf needs this added with in the www block

user = www-data

I was trying to do a PR but I am unable to publish my branch. I am still a nood to all this git stuff.

OK so www-data is root so new error. We will have to add a new non root user to the container then assign it to fpm-pool.

Sorry just saw this right now with some more testing.

Does it need to be set to 1001 maybe ?:

ref: https://github.com/CachetHQ/Docker/pull/270

[gamkiller77]

yah i think so. It just really wants a user that dose not have the same UID as root. I picked www-data as it looks to be the best one.

[gamkiller77]

Let me test really fast i get back to you before the EOD PST.

Did not work with user 1001 i switched to user nginx It started up but i got new errors now.

Ok I was able to fix it.

Set the user to www-data

In supervisord.conf

add this to start php-fdm --allow-to-run-as-root Like this

[program:php-fpm]
command=/usr/sbin/php-fpm7 --allow-to-run-as-root -c /etc/php7/fpm/pool.d/www.conf

I finally got the setup page.

All test for me worked I am now up and working but update your code Ryan.

I am using Cachet (latest official image) in Openshift cluster (3.6 and 3.7) without the change.

I am using my own template. Is it possible that there is a problem with your OpenShift template?
