Run PoolParty With a Non-privileged User
PoolParty is installed using port 80 by default.
This means root or sudo rights are necessary when PoolParty is installed in a Linux environment. The following instruction shows how to run PoolParty with a non-privileged user.
Note
You may want to run PoolParty without having the port number in the URI as in this example: http://<base-URI>:8081/PoolParty
In that case you have to configure a reverse proxy in front of PoolParty.
STEP 1: Stop the PoolParty Server
STEP 2: Change the Port Used by PoolParty
STEP 3: Change the Path to the run and tmp dir of PoolParty
Create the run and tmp dir, using this command:
mkdir /opt/poolparty/{run,tmp}Make them writable for the poolparty user:
chown poolparty:poolparty /opt/poolparty -R
Add the following lines in the poolparty.conf file:
... #Directory to store the PoolParty PID file in PP_pid_dir="/opt/poolparty/run" #Directory used for temp. storage purposes PP_tmp_dir="/opt/poolparty/tmp" ....
STEP 4: Replace sudo Statements in the Start Scripts
Remove all the 'sudo -u $POOLPARTY_USER' occurences in the poolparty and solr start script.
You will find them in the following folder
/opt/poolparty/bin
