mkfifo, permission denied? about loris HOT 3 CLOSED

This may be obvious, but does the user that's running loris have permission to write to the directory where it's trying to make the FIFO? That's the directory configured here:

https://github.com/pulibrary/loris/blob/development/etc/loris.conf#L17

If you ran the embedded development server and then ran setup.py, it MAY have made that directory with you as the owner. Try opening the permissions on that dir once and see what happens.

Thanks for writing,

Right, I checked that. Everything was owned correctly, but there was a strange extended permissions issue (security context in SELinux) that was preventing mod_wsgi from running FIFO commands. That's fixed, but now I'm having other problems (I may comment again later!), so I'll close this now. Thanks!

OK, thanks. I don't know the details of the issue, but if it's something
you think is worth incorporating into the documentation, please let me know
(or feel free to submit a pull request :-) )
