I am running my install from vagrant under the vmware fusion provider. Only have altered the cloned Vagrant file as follows:
```
config.vm.provider "vmware_fusion" do |v|
v.vmx["memsize"] = "2048"
v.vmx["numvcpus"] = "2"
end
```
and changing the image:
```
config.vm.define :dockerhost do |config|
config.vm.box = "netsensia/ubuntu-trusty64-salt"
# config.vm.box_url
...
```
the box `vagrant up`s just fine. Then I `sudo -i` and `cd /var/discourse`. From here I `./launcher bootstrap app` I have also done `./launcher rebuild app` as well. I get the following output, specifically of note are these 2 lines:
`exec failed with the params "chown postgres:postgres /shared/postgres_run"`
AND
```
I, [2015-12-28T20:53:21.029322 #36] INFO -- : > chown postgres:postgres /shared/postgres_run
chown: changing ownership of ‘/shared/postgres_run’: Operation not permitted
```
Full output:
```
root@ubuntu:/var/discourse# ./launcher rebuild app

Has anyone else encountered this? If so can you let me know what I am doing wrong?
The above output was from a rebuild. Here is the output from a totally clean start:

If you have disabled SELinux, you’d better disable it in docker also.
> vi /etc/sysconfig/docker
> OPTIONS=‘–selinux-enabled’ – Comment out this line by adding a # in beginning.
