init.d/carbon pidfile logging prevents startup in Ubuntu about graphite-fabric

[neutmute]

ah - I also just noticed the change to fabfile.py in that same commit.

sudo('mkdir -p /var/run/carbon')
sudo('chown -R www-data: /var/run/carbon')

I think the problem is this is nuked on reboot due to /var/run being mounted in tmpfs

This would explain the permission denied issue I think.

Hi @neutmute

Thanks for reporting this. I just pushed a small change to the init.d script for carbon. Can you try this out now and see if this works better?

I swapped out my tweaked /init.d/carbon, put yours in and rebooted. Looks good!

There were also a few tweaks based on your comments into the fabfile. Once you have it installed though you only need to change the init.d script. Good to know it's working for you too.

Thanks again @neutmute
