I am setting up etherpad-lite on my raspberry pi ubuntu 14.04 server. I got stuck trying to make etherpad-lite run as a service, following these instructions (I've also checked several others but that hasn't helped).
After starting the service with
service etherpad-lite start
i get a discouraging response:
start-stop-daemon: unable to open pidfile '/var/run/etherpad-lite.pid' for writing (Permission denied)
I tried to change the permissions for the file, give writing privileges to etherpad (the user running etherpad), but that changed nothing.
sudo chown etherpad: /var/run/etherpad-lite.pid
sudo chmod 754 /var/run/etherpad-lite.pid
Any ideas on how to solve this?
