Redhat Enterprise Linux 7.2 (Maipo)

nivij I believe the /etc/sudoers file isn't setup correctly. Make sure that the /etc/sudoers file is setup with the following, with 'quest' in the example as the non-root user name

guest ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL

The document below was in correct and I updated it with the above information from the "Non-Root User Installs" section:

[ https://mariadb.com/kb/en/mariadb/preparing-for-installation

I've set the sudo priviledges as
________________________________________________

1. 1. Read drop-in files from /etc/sudoers.d (the # here does not mean a comment)
      #includedir /etc/sudoers.d
      mariadb ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL
      ________________________________________________

however I still get the below when running
/home/mariadb/mariadb/columnstore/bin/post-install --installdir=/home/mariadb/mariadb/columnstore/

______________________________________________________
==== AUTHENTICATING FOR org.freedesktop.systemd1.manage-unit-files ===

Ok, that is something a bit different... Looks like there is a call being made to some system service, like netctl, that the post-install script isn't expecting..

Please do the following. this should show us where in the script this is occurring:

NOTE: the last '/' shouldn't be entered. This is happening, most likely, because you used a 'tab' key to enter the directory

1. bash -x /home/mariadb/mariadb/columnstore/bin/post-install --installdir=/home/mariadb/mariadb/columnstore

1. Lets see if this works, by removing the '/'
2. Or this will tell us where in the script its calling a system service command that is requiring the password. Please provide the output of the command, if this is the case.

Thanks, David Hill

Hi David.

at line 168 of the post-install there is a missing sudo.
redhat 7 requires root priviledges to execute systemctl.

screen below.

+ sudo cp /home/mariadb/mariadb/columnstore/bin/columnstore.service /lib/systemd/system/.
+ systemctl enable columnstore
==== AUTHENTICATING FOR org.freedesktop.systemd1.manage-unit-files ===
Authentication is required to manage system service or unit files.
Authenticating as: root
Password: + '[' mariadb = root ']'

Thanks, good catch.... We will get that corrected in for next release....

fixed with changes to post-install and pre-uninstall.

just added the sudo command where systemctl is called

Please review, another 1 line change to post-install and pre-uninstall...

Review changes in 2 files.

This would have been fixed and tested as part of 1.0.5 since non root install was correctly working and tested.
