Re: 0.7.0 install bug centos 7

[Nicholas Hughes]

FWIW, I "fixed" this on my system with a different workaround:

1. Don't use the "install" option.
2. Symlink /etc/init.d/nifi to /opt/nifi/current/bin/nifi.sh
3. Edit the script to use readlink and find the actual install directory:
SCRIPT_DIR=$(dirname $(readlink $0 || echo $0))
SCRIPT_NAME=$(basename $(readlink $0 || echo $0))
(from memory, so I think that should work)

Not perfect, but seemed cleaner than having two nifi scripts kicking
around...

Thanks for reporting this, Ryan, I see the same behavior.  I created a JIRA
for this issue (https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-2063).  If you
need a workaround, you can edit /etc/init.d/nifi to hard-code the path to
the script directory:

SCRIPT_DIR=/opt/nifi/current/bin
SCRIPT_NAME=$(basename "$0")
PROGNAME=nifi.sh

. "$SCRIPT_DIR"/nifi-env.sh

...

Thanks,

James
