1.5.3 - can't start cron nor apache service - operation not permitted

1.5.3 - can't start cron nor apache service - operation not permitted

[Andrew DeFaria]

Since upgrading to 1.5.3 I cannot start cron or apache as services. They 
were added as follows:

$ cygrunsrv -I cron -p /usr/sbin/cron -a -D -d "Cygwin cron" -e 
"MAILTO=$USER@<domain>" -e "CYGWIN=ntsec
$ cygrunsrv -I apache -p /usr/sbin/httpd -a -k -d "Cygwin Apache" -f 
"Apache for Cygwin"
$ cygrunsrv -S cron
cygrunsrv: Error starting a service: QueryServiceStatus:  Win32 error 1062:
The service has not been started.
$ cygrunsrv -S apache
cygrunsrv: Error starting a service: QueryServiceStatus:  Win32 error 1062:
The service has not been started.

Examining the Event Viewer yeilds:

Event Type:    Error
Event Source:    cron
Event Category:    None
Event ID:    0
Date:        9/11/2003

Description:

And

and Support for details. The following information is part of the event: 
Apache : PID 4000 : starting service `Apache' failed: execv: 1, 
Operation not permitted.

I looked through the list and didn't find anything that helped me.

(BTW: Interestingly enough, I no longer have a /usr/doc/Cygwin/cron.README!)

I've just tested it and it still works for me.  Could you check the 
permissions on cygwin1.dll?  Is system not permitted to read/execute
the DLL perhaps?

Quote from the announcement:
  "The package now adheres to the filesystem hirarchy standard (FHS)."

That means, documentation, man pages and info pages are now under
/usr/share instead of /usr.

Interesting:

$ ll /bin/cygwin1.dll
-rwxr-x---+   1 Andrew   Users      967522 Sep  1 10:16 /bin/cygwin1.dll*
$ chmod +x /bin/cygwin1.dll
$ ll /bin/cygwin1.dll
-rwxr-x--x+   1 Andrew   Users      967522 Sep  1 10:16 /bin/cygwin1.dll*
$ net start cron
The Cygwin cron service is starting.
The Cygwin cron service could not be started.

The service did not report an error.

More help is available by typing NET HELPMSG 3534.

Didn't help. Wonder why many of the files under /bin were owned by the 
group Users and others set to the group DeFaria? And what does that "+" 
at the end of the permmissions string mean?

Anyways I did a:

$ chmod 755 /bin/*
$ chgrp DeFaria /bin/*

Didn't help.

I did get the following one time:

Event Type:    Information
Event Source:    /usr/sbin/cron
Event Category:    None
Event ID:    0
Date:        9/12/2003
Time:        7:52:46 AM
User:        NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM
Computer:    STARBASE
Description:

is part of the event: /usr/sbin/cron : PID 4036 : (CRON) STAT FAILED 
(/etc/cron.d).

Interesting because I don't have an /etc/cron.d. Creating it fixed my 
problem! Hmmm... Why didn't the post install create this? I have no 
idea. But I'm glad it's now working.

Thanks.

My WAG is you've run setup.exe more than once to install something and
your ID had different group permissions on some of these rounds.


>And what does that "+" at the end of the permmissions string mean?


Do you google?

The post install doesn't need to create it.  It's part of the cron package.
<http://cygwin.com/cgi-bin2/package-cat.cgi?file=cron/cron-3.0.1-10&grep=cron.d>

Looks like you had a problem installing the 'cron' package for some reason.
Try again, if required.
