Play framework 2.2 using Upstart 1.5 (Ubuntu 12.04)
- by Leon Radley
I'm trying to get Play 2.2 working with upstart.
I've been running Play 2.x with upstart since it's release and it's never been a problem.
But since the release of 2.2 and the change to http://www.scala-sbt.org/sbt-native-packager/ play doesn't want to start any more.
Here's the config I'm using
description "PlayFramework 2.2"
version "2.2"
env APP=myapp
env USER=myuser
env GROUP=www-data
env HOME=/home/myuser/app
env PORT=9000
env ADDRESS=127.0.0.1
env CONFIG=production.conf
env JAVAOPTS="-J-Xms128M -J-Xmx512m -J-server"
start on runlevel [2345]
stop on runlevel [06]
respawn
respawn limit 10 5
expect daemon
# If you want the upstart script to build play with sbt
pre-start script
chdir $HOME
sbt clean compile stage -mem $SBTMEM
end script
exec start-stop-daemon --pidfile ${HOME}/RUNNING_PID --chuid $USER:$GROUP --exec ${HOME}/bin/${APP} --background --start -- -Dconfig.resource=$CONFIG -Dhttp.address=$ADDRESS -Dhttp.port=$PORT $JAVAOPTS
I've changed the JAVAOPTS to include the -J-
and I've also changed the path to use the new startscript located in the /bin/ dir.
I've read that upstart 1.4 has setuid and setguid. I've tried removing the start-stop-daemon but I haven't got that working either.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
