AEM Forms JEE on Redhat Linux - Run as a service gives IOException: Unable to write to deploy directory: /

Hello,

 

I have a new server on which we installed AEM Forms JEE 6.5.18.

The entire installation is successfully running under the root user, but because of security reasons I need to create a specific 'adobe' user to run AEM as a service.

The 'adobe' user is the owner of the entire directory structure where the AEM and jboss files are stored.

Running the jboss server by executing standalone.sh from a session where the 'adobe' user is logged in also works without an issue.

Running the jboss server as a service with the root user also works without issues.

 

But running the jboss server as a service with the 'adobe' user results in an IOException: 

java.io.IOException: Unable to write to deploy directory: /

Naturally the 'adobe' user does not have root (/) access.

 

 

The full error that jboss gives after starting up is:

Is there an possibility to configure that deploy directory or is there something missing in the configuration?

Hi @stevenrymenans ,

It seems there might be an issue with how the JBoss service was configured. Specifically, the JBOSS_HOME environment variable may not be set correctly in the service script.

Could you please review the complete server logs to verify which location JBOSS_HOME is pointing to?

Another potential issue could be related to the temporary directory. You might want to explicitly set the temporary path to a folder where the "adobe" user has full access.

Let me know if this helps!
