Doh, it should work! What it the error you get?
You can also use any of the following 2 approaches:
1. Just put the command "/var/www/www.abc.com/start.sh" in a script and then use su to run it:

su - rails -c "/path/to/script"

2.

sudo -u rails /var/www/www.abc.com/start.sh

Hi Bathory,

I cant see any error message as it is running during the system startup and i dont have the console access of the server. i am accessing my server remotely using SSH.

Let me try the above solution. I get back to you soon.

Hi bathory,

below is the error after applying your suggested solution.

root@localhost:~# sudo -u rails /var/www/www.abc.com/start.sh Could not locate Gemfile

Regards,

I assume the cd into /var/www/www.abc.com is missing.

Hi,

cd is not missing. I have in the script.

can you tell me how can i make a script which do the following steps.

1) su to rail (su - rail).
2) then cd to /var/www/www.abc.com (cd /var/www/www.abc.com).
3) then execute the scirpt ./start.sh

can you tell me how can i make a script. might be that will resolve my issue.

Regards,

Create the script:

#!/bin/sh
cd /var/www/www.abc.com 
./start.sh

Run it as the user rails:

su - rails -c "/path/to/script"

Try it from CLI first to see if it works, or it fails and for what reason

Hi,

below is the error.

rails@localhost:~$ ./test.sh Could not find rake-10.3.1 in any of the sources Run `bundle install` to install missing gems.

I executed the script with rails user.

below is the another result of the command.

su - rails -c /home/rails/test.sh Gemfile syntax error: /var/www/www.abc.com/Gemfile:36: syntax error, unexpected ':', expecting $end gem 'xcases', git: 'ssh://user1@git.gitserver.com/var/lib/git/xcases.git'

Please suggest

below is the error. rails@localhost:~$ ./test.sh Could not find rake-10.3.1 in any of the sources Run `bundle install` to install missing gems.

I'm not familiar with rails, but from the error above, looks like something is missing.
So as suggested, i.e. run "bundle install" and see what you get

Hi bathory,

I am running this script from rails user's home directory, If i run the script command in /var/www/www.abc.com directory it will work as all the bundle components are installed in /var/www/www.abc.com directory. so i must have to run ./start.sh script in the said directory. I cant installed bundle components in the rails user's home directory.

This is what the script of post #22 does:
Changes directory to /var/www/www.abc.com
Runs the ./start.sh
Then you, as root use su or sudo to execute the script with the rails user rights

Hi,

But I tried that way same as post:22 which also not works. I tried the same way suggested in post 22.
