/usr/bin/env ruby_noexec_wrapper fails with no file or directory

Question

When I try to start chef-solr as service it's failing with the following error

# service chef-solr start
Starting chef-solr: /usr/bin/env: ruby_noexec_wrapper: No such file or directory
                                                       [FAILED]

But when I run it manually from command line it's running successfully

# chef-solr -d -c /etc/chef/solr.rb -L /var/log/chef/solr.log -P /var/run/chef/solr.pid
# echo $?
0
# ps -ef | grep chef

How to get this issue resolved?

Answer 1

make sure all the variables all set correctly, especially PATH and GEM_PATH, you can use this code to set the environment for you:

source /usr/local/rvm/environments/ruby-1.9.3-p194

add it in the service before chef-solr is run

Answer 2

My problem was similar, and so was my answer:

My problem was

Permission denied - /usr/local/rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.3-p194/bin/ruby_noexec_wrapper

ruby_noexec_wrapper was in ruby-1.9.3-p194@global not in the listed path

My solution was

source /usr/local/rvm/environments/ruby-1.9.3-p194@global

I upvoted mpapis because his answer was critical in finding mine. Feel free to upvote him rather than me. Just adding an additional answer to try and help anybody with a similar problem.

Answer 3

Answer not related to chef, but may help in future.

I had a similar issue, but since I was following a tutorial to setup thin in RVM. I fixed by using wrapper generated by RVM for thin service

/home/thin/.rvm/bin/bootup_thin

therefore changed line in init script

DAEMON=/home/thin/.rvm/gems/ree-1.8.7-2012.02/bin/thin

to

DAEMON=/home/thin/.rvm/bin/bootup_thin
