Adobe Experience Manager Forms

StevenRymenans · 1/15/24

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:

21:24:43,983 ERROR [org.jboss.as.ejb3.invocation] (ServerService Thread Pool -- 102) WFLYEJB0034: Jakarta Enterprise Beans Invocation failed on component EjbTransactionCMTAdapter for method public abstract java.lang.Object com.adobe.idp.dsc.transaction.impl.ejb.adapter.EjbTransactionCMTAdapterLocal.doRequiresNew(com.adobe.idp.dsc.transaction.TransactionDefinition,com.adobe.idp.dsc.transaction.TransactionCallback) throws com.adobe.idp.dsc.DSCException: javax.ejb.TransactionRolledbackLocalException: java.lang.RuntimeException: java.io.IOException: Unable to write to deploy directory: /

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!
