Comment 4 for bug 1305822

Hi,

the issue still exists, I got the provided error on the following environment:

build_id: 2014-04-22_01-00-26
build_number: '121'
fuellib_sha: 28d82c796081978ef937853dafbe489a251d8103
production: prod
release: '5.0'

Ubuntu HA, 3 Controllers + 1 Cinder LVM + 1 Compute.

On controllers puppet logs contain:

 (/Stage[main]/Swift::Proxy/Service[swift-proxy]/ensure) change from stopped to running failed: Could not start Service[swift-proxy]: Execution of '/sbin/start swift-proxy' returned 1

When trying to start swift-proxy manually it fails with "permissions denied" error:

Traceback (most recent call last):

IOError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/etc/swift/container.ring.gz'

Also, I was able to successfuly start swift-proxy after I change files permissions in the following way:

root@node-6:~# find /etc/swift/ -group swift -type f -perm 600 -exec chmod 640 {} \;
