Work environment

| Questions | Answers |
| --- | --- |
| Type of issue | Bug |
| OS version (server) | Ubuntu 14.04 |
| OS version (client) | OS X 10.10.5 |
| PHP version | 5.5.9 |
| MISP version / git hash | 2.4.47 |
| Browser | Firefox 46.0.1 |

Expected behavior

Workers started from MISP server settings UI ("Restart all workers") should report a healthy queue status at _/servers/serverSettings/workers_.

Actual behavior

Workers start from UI and show healthy (report worker PID, web server user, and that "The worker appears to be healthy"). Healthy workers show Worker PIDs 1, 3, 5 and 7. However, queue status shows that _"Queue status: Issues prevent jobs from being processed. Please resolve them below"_ and lists Worker PIDs 0, 2, 4 and 6 in Worker Process state "Unknown" with the message _"The worker was started with a user other than the apache user. MISP cannot check whether the worker is alive or not."_

Steps to reproduce the behavior

1. Stop workers: /var/www/MISP/app/Console/cake CakeResque.CakeResque stop --all
2. Access Server Settings web UI >> Workers
3. Click Restart all workers
4. No immediate change indicated in web UI
5. Change to different tab, and then back again to Workers tab
6. See that cache, default, email and scheduler worker types show healthy status, and that section at bottom of page shows workers with described problem status.

Unsure if related but following logs are written to /var/www/MISP/app/tmp/logs/debug.log when clicking around among Server Settings tabs:

I just installed last night and noticed the same issue on Ubuntu 14. Two questions: Does this cause any issues with the background jobs? Is there any workaround or way to resolve it?

Hmm, haven't seen this issue before. Will try to set up a fresh 14.04
installation in a few days to give this a go.

Found the problem - my fault. I started the install about a month ago and left it sit once i got most install/config stuff done. In the meantime this commit happened to the install doc: https://github.com/MISP/MISP/commit/0a4b26de24aa1a71afc932a3836c6a6e0128edfd

sudo apt-get install php5-redis
sudo php5enmod redis

fixed it. Sorry for the confusion.
