Project archive import fails to copy log files

[gschueler]

Project archive import seems to have a problem sometimes when moving the log file for an execution to the right place, echoing this message:

ERROR ProjectService - Unable to move temp log file to destination: /..snip../project/job/123.txt (old id 321)

Then the execution log cannot be viewed for that execution.

The problem might be caused by having temp files and log files on separate disks, so the system cannot rename the file directly, causing the File.renameTo to fail.

Potential workarounds, need confirmation:

Change the temp dir used by java:

• for RPM/deb modify the RUNDECK_TEMPDIR variable in /etc/rundeck/profile
• for launcher, set -Djava.io.tmpdir=/path when starting the server

From a user: changing the launcher's $RDECK_BASE/etc/profile and rundeckd script to set temp dir to local $RDECK_BASE/var/tmp fixed the issue:

export RDECK_JVM="$RDECK_JVM -Xmx2048m -Xms256m -server -Djava.io.tmpdir=$RDECK_BASE/var/tmp"

Fixed the issue.

The import code could also directly copy the file to the destination if renameTo fails.
