I installed citadel-suite using apt-get on Ubuntu 15.10. I then uninstalled it using 'sudo apt-get remove citadel-suite; sudo apt-get purge citadel-suite', manually deleted the directory '/etc/citadel/', and then re-installed it using apt-get. I thought it would re-run the easy install, but alas no. After reading the Citadel's FAQs and docs, I ran Citadel's 'setup' executable. Now it's totally borked. It's spitting out messages like the following as fast as it can go:
Broadcast message from systemd-journald@hostname (Thu 2016-07-14 21:09:52 PDT): citserver[12510]: failed to create directory /etc/citadel/messages/: No such file or directory Broadcast message from systemd-journald@hostname (Thu 2016-07-14 21:09:52 PDT): citserver[12510]: failed to access & create directories Broadcast message from systemd-journald@hostname (Thu 2016-07-14 21:09:52 PDT): citserver[12511]: configuration setting c_default_cal_zone is empty, but must not - check your config! Broadcast message from systemd-journald@hostname (Thu 2016-07-14 21:09:52 PDT): citserver[12511]: failed to create directory /etc/citadel/messages/: No such file or directory Broadcast message from systemd-journald@hostname (Thu 2016-07-14 21:09:52 PDT): citserver[12511]: failed to access & create directories
I then rebooted the server, but it's still spitting out the same messages from systemd-journald. Anyone have any ideas on how to fix it and get Citadel re-installed?
Make the
/etc/citadeldirectory by hand (mkdir /etc/citadel). Obviously citadel's too poorly implemented to know aboutmkdir -p. Bodes well for future operations.
