Please run bundle install in the ChiliProject directory as the user that will run ChiliProject. Depending on your configuration, that might be the owner of the files in the chiliproject directory or another user if specified otherwise in your passenger config.

Thanks for your reply.

root is the user.
Pls find the outputs

Can I expect any feedback to resolve this issue?
Because, currently I have launched this system in my office with bundle exec script/server -e production as the webserver. But, It has been mentioned in the documentation that this should not be used for production systems.

Expecting a positive feedback at the earliest

Hi,

running the system as root is not recommended and causes some problems...

One point:

Apache2 NEVER runs as root and NEVER must be run as root.
So when your ChiliProject environment is only installed as root user, your directory and file permissions are probably mixed up and maybe broken, so you'll fail to get passenger running as user "chiliproject".

Correct way:

1. Install CP and assign all it's dirs + files to a separate user and grou, e.g. user "chiliproject" and group "chiliproject"
2. Test your installation (after running "bundle install" etc.) by executing the so called "Webrick" as user "chiliproject" (bundle exec script/server -e production)
3. Install+configure the Apache2 and the Passenger module for user "chiliproject" and group "chiliproject", as described in the Install Wiki
4. Start Apache2 with default rights/user (on Debian it runs as user "www-data") and test the ChiliProject

Following the installation instructions inside the Wiki step by step prevents doing serious errors, like running security sensitive services like CP as full-priviliged user "root".

Please: Don't run any servers/services as root!

ciao,
Chris

PS: Please be kind to others - we are no paid service employees - we do this free of charge in our sparetime. Thanks.

Thanks for your response.

I am sorry if I was not kind in my earlier communications. My intention and objective is to make the great tool work with apache. Nothing else.

Thanks for the support.
