Cannot use user www-data

[heaven]

Need to use same user as nginx, otherwise no access to /tmp/uwsgi.sock. Set user/group to www-data and got this:

[2015-01-08T12:47:05-05:00] ERROR: user[www-data] (graphite::_user line 25) had an error: Mixlib::ShellOut::ShellCommandFailed: Expected process to exit with [0], but received '8'

Making it possible to configure the "chown-socket" and / or "chmod-socket" in the uwsgi runit job would help.

Actually looks as though what I suggested above had already been implemented. See https://github.com/hw-cookbooks/graphite/commit/73481e6d00c6c426706ac84cf362e3e8f8cc0971

The problem is that no release has taken place for well over a year.
