Dear All,

I found this error when running Openfire on my linux:

Starting openfire: sh: /opt/openfire/logs/nohup.out: Permission denied

Do you know why?

Hi Oki,

I assume that you want to run Openfire as user “jive” while /op/openfire belongs to “root”. So “jive” can not create any files in “logs”. A simple “chmod” should fix this.

Hello LG,

I was tried it with chmod and logon with root, but it still doesn’t work.

**[root@oki ~]# ls -al /opt/openfire/
total 192

For file /opt/openfire/logs/nohup.out, what is the stat (e.g. permissions, user/group)?

Hi,

I’ve tried to modify with the group : root on /opt folder

drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 Feb 22 22:40 opt

And it’s work now!
