Description

Got this error while trying to update an old VM. I know that continuously updating a box over a long time is not the recommended usage for MW-Vagrant so I don't expect support for this, just sharing in case someone already ran into it and has a workaround. (I guess just deleting /etc/hhvm/php.ini would work?)

It does.

Reopening, happens with brand new VMs as well.

It seems that the package changed and the vagrant puppet module is now out of sync:

vagrant@mediawiki-vagrant:~$ dpkg-query -L hhvm | grep /etc/hhvm/php.ini
/etc/hhvm/php.ini
/etc/hhvm/php.ini/php.ini

I am getting a similar error, but the error message is slightly different. After vagrant destroy, vagrant up yields:

==> default: Error: Could not set 'file' on ensure: Is a directory - (/etc/hhvm/php.ini20150124-5826-xnindb, /etc/hhvm/php.ini) at 65:/tmp/vagrant-puppet-5/modules-0/hhvm/manifests/init.pp

This appears to be causing errors with Wikimetrics as well:

I tried working on running some tests involving https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T74747 in case the error was not relevant, but I got ImportError: No module named celery.signals.

installed hhvm version: 3.5.0-trusty in an unpuppetized vagrant instance and it installs php.ini in /etc/hhvm/php.ini. it seems that the issue is with the pkg version 3.3.1+dfsg1-1+wm3, which installs php.ini in /etc/hhvm/php.ini/php.ini. i don’t know how or where this needs to be fixed or reported.

Patch-For-Review

Adding ops, as I think they are in charge of packaging HHVM; if the package uses the wrong path, that should be fixed. If the path is correct, vagrant should use that, instead of forcefully changing it, IMO.

I talked to @Joe about this on irc earlier. He has the fix for it but it hasn't been updated in the package yet.

bd808 mentioned this in T86206: MediaWiki-Vagrant install party.Jan 27 2015, 7:40 AM

Workaround until we get the package fixed:

$ vagrant ssh
$ sudo rm -rf /etc/hhvm/php.ini
$ exit
$ vagrant provision

I confirm that this currently happens for brand new VMs.

FWIW something like this happened to me this morning on flow-tests.wmflabs.org running (labs) /vagrant from October 30 (commit 0a810cc674). After the ensure failure both /etc/hhvm/php.ini and /etc/hhvm/fcgi/php.ini were directories, not files, each containing an (old) ini file. I moved them out of the way

sudo mv -i /etc/hhvm/php.ini{,_BAD}
sudo mv -i /etc/hhvm/fcgi/php.ini{,_BAD}

and then sudo labs-vagrant provision completed OK.

@bd808, @Tgr,

i agree, that ideally this would be fixed in the hhvm package, but it seems that this issue has existed for some time. i checked out a commit hash from 25 september 2014, 7447c9804b947b4b7eba9af1d0dc93828d59bed9, and still saw this issue when creating a new vm.

is there a dependency on a 3rd party to merge joe’s fix?
would it make sense to add a blocking task and merge this patch for now?

Vagrant fetches the current version of packages via apt; what version of MW-Vagrant you use does not affect this bug. I think it started happening a week ago, some days before this bug report I was still able to spawn VMs.

@Tgr,

i see. thanks, but how is MW-Vagrant determining where to get the apt-get package for hhvm?

i created the vm without provisioning, vagrant up --no-provision.
then installed the hhvm package with these instructions.
after following those instructions, the hhvm package created the php.ini file in the “correct” directory /etc/hhvm/php.ini.

it looks like the MW-Vagrant install is using a special version of the apt-get package for hhvm, 3.3.1+dfsg1-1+wm3. is that necessary? also, i’m assuming that this is the package @Joe can revise, but just hasn't had time to verify everything he wants before committing the change - correct?
