Hi Chris, Okay, sorry for the delayed response. Crazy day. One emergency after another.
So... I took a few minutes to look this over and I found a few "potentials". I'm not sure if they are the issue or not but they are worth a shot. First, in your server.xml configs, add the trailing / to your system paths. In my tests, I have the trailing slashes and they appear to be working for me, so I would try that. It's small, but it may make the difference. Next, would it be possible for you to install to /opt/openbd/? Purely for testing sake? If that works like it's supposed to, then there may be a non-dynamic variable in the config that I forgot about and need to get changed over to being written by the install process. Thank you SO MUCH for helping me make this installer better. I really appreciate it.
