Doing the directory permission checks after all the values have been set
helps avoid problems with intermediate values that aren't valid. This
happens when --basedir generates invalid derived paths and the correct path
is provided as an argument right after it.
The path parameter is read from the configuration file only if it hasn't
been modified by a command line option. The case where an invalid command
line option is given but a valid configuration parameter would override it
is still treated as an error.
Also added a clarifying comment into set_dirs to make sure the handling
for the two path parameters is not moved inside set_runtime_dirs.
Fixed the testing scripts for the REST API and MaxCtrl now that the
directory permission checks are done correctly. Previously some paths seem
to have been ignored.
The tests can now be run as root. This is most likely required in some
cases and it should not break things if they are run as root (e.g. inside
a VM with no other users).
NPM prevents the use of the root user (due to modules getting root access)
and uses an unprivileged user to install the modules. As maxctrl has to
generate the version information at install time, running `npm install` as
root will fail due to missing privileges to the current working
directory. To work around this, an explicit step was added.
Also changed the maxadmin checks to maxctrl to remove the dependency on
the socket file location being writable by non-root users
(/var/run/maxscale/ might not be accessible to all users).
The configuration used an invalid parameter name which caused the two
MaxScales to use the same directory for persisted configurations.
The test also tried to sync with the wrong server causing the same
listener to be created twice on the same port but on different MaxScales.
Cleaned up the startup and shutdown scripts to always start from a clean
state.
The configuration wrongly spelled `secondary` as `secodary` causing a
failure to start the secondary MaxScale. The startup script didn't create
the log directory and removed the wrong maxadmin socket file.
