You are attempting to run the startup script as a non-root user, which isn't going to work without someone having done some non-trivial configuration to your server beforehand. Try running it as root. [ As an aside (and I do hate to be negative) if you are professionally involved with "compliance" and aren't able to troubleshoot a relatively simple issue like this, then you need to get your company to involve more experienced technical people with your work. I don't know what industry you're in, but there are a number of red flags in your first couple of emails to this list which would -- if I were in your shoes -- make me very wary of saying I'd successfully made a service or server "compliant". IMHO you may well be storing up problems for your company *and* for yourself. There's no harm in telling people they're asking you to do things outside your comfort zone, and "compliance" work is probably *not* somewhere that you or your company wants you to be doing your otherwise perfectly valid learning-through-doing! </my2cents> ] Jonathan
