Thanks Guys, I managed to log in as apacheds with the "sudo su - apacheds" command.
I tried to run the server using the command that launches the init script (I already tried that under my own account but I could not test it under the 'apacheds' user as I could not log in as 'apacheds'). I still had no log. I added write permissions for anyone to the wrapper log file, and I finally had one log... :D The log indicates that the pid file could not be created (Permission denied). This was something I was suspecting. Now my question are: Do I need to add special rights/permissions to the 'apacheds' user ? And more importantly: How the hell does it seem to work out of the box for the rpm? (and I'm exactly doing the same thing) Thanks, Pierre-Arnaud On Mon, Mar 31, 2008 at 2:58 PM, David Montag <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Sorry, I think I misunderstood the question.
