foreman: application doesn't start on RedHat 6.4

I use foreman to run Rails application on RedHat 6.4, but for some reason it just doesn't start it using the command sudo start myproject on a server.

Actually, I use capistrano and the process is fully automated, but even a manual execution doesn't work.

Solution

  • After a lot of playing with upstart tasks:

    [root@server init]# start project-web-1
start: Unknown job: project-web-1

    I determined the problem. It's in using setuid in foreman's upstart script

    According to the answer, setuid supported from the initctl version 1.4, but RedHat 6.4 has 0.6.5

    [root@server ~]$ initctl --version
initctl (upstart 0.6.5)

    The solution:

    1. I used the modified previous version by msaffitz of the upstart/process.conf.erb and it started working
    2. See how to use a custom template for foreman
