sudoers www-data popup

[Former user]

I am using the pre-built VMware image you created. I get the following message when attempting to apply a archiving/retention policy

add the following to /etc/sudoers: 'www-data all=nopasswd: /etc/init.d/rc.piler reload'

I added the line as it prompted, rebooted the OS and message still appears. Ideas?

Please check if you can execute the following command by the www-data user:

sudo -n /etc/init.d/rc.piler reload

root@piler:~# su www-data $ sudo -n /etc/init.d/rc.piler reload sh: 1: sudo: not found

Looks like sudo was not installed. Installed I installed sudo apt-get install sudo then configured

i get this

root@piler:~# su www-data $ sudo -n /etc/init.d/rc.piler reload sudo: unable to resolve host piler sudo: sorry, a password is required to run sudo

Please check /etc/hostname and /etc/hosts whether "piler" is a resolvable hostname. Anyway could you attach your /etc/sudoers file?

Dear jsuto,

If you are using Piler on a Centos distro, permission in sudoers in the case should be granted to the User "apache", correct?

EX:

# / etc / sudores apache ALL = NOPASSWD: / etc / init.d / piler reload

Realized settings and even then the popup appears:

Add the following to / etc / sudoers: 'www-data ALL = NOPASSWD: / etc / init.d / rc.piler reload'

If you can give me tips on how to solve this issue thanks.

The popup text is a generic help to give an idea to a system admin what to do to make this feature work. I didn't put too much effort to custom tail it to match different webserver users, so in a nutshell you are right, on centos you should use "apache", not "www-data".

I hope you managed to make it.
