ofbiz.rc running ofbiz on linux as a service

[masionas]

Hi Guys,

I am having some issues on getting working ofbiz as a service. Followed the setup guide and it did not work. The problem is that a call to /etc/init.d/ofbiz returns "access denied" error when is called by root  user.

Here is the original code from "ofbiz.rc" script:

# If root is running this script, su to $OFBIZ_USER first
if [ "$UID" = "0" ]; then
exec su - $OFBIZ_USER -c "$0 $1"
fi

ANd what I have changed was change "$0" to an absolute path of "/etc/init.d/ofbiz" because otherwise it gave a "no such file error". So now it looks like:

# If root is running this script, su to $OFBIZ_USER first
if [ "$UID" = "0" ]; then
exec su - $OFBIZ_USER -c "/etc/init.d/ofbiz $1"
fi

it founds the service file but gives permission error.

Anyone faced this problem?

make the file  executable? Has the user 'ofbiz' permission to run it?

What kind of kind of system are you trying to achieve this? Ubuntu? RedHat? Other?

Hi Hans,

The file has -rwxr-xr-x permissions, basically like others services under /etc/init.d/ and ownership of "root:root". I changed ownership to "ofbiz:ofbiz" it did not help - same thing.
