You may have to fix some things up after updating in future. With hindsight that may have been a better choice but a bit awkward to change in the port now.

I chowned to '_unifi:wheel' and now it seem to work fine. Also I moved the directories 'data' and 'backup' to /var and linked back just like the logs are. Is this a good or bad idea? thanks --mirac

On my UniFi box (which is running -current and unifi-5.9.32), I also enabled mongod to start at boot. rcctl enable mongod rcctl enable unifi It has been running fine for me for years that way. Bryan
ubnt unfi stable from ports doesn´t start with rcctl but as root
Hi, just upgrade the Unifi Controller net/unifi/stable (version 5.8.30) from ports. The controller service doesn´t start wit rcctl(8) but works fine when running as root. My guess is that _unifi is not allowed to start monogd but don´t have a clue how to fix this... Does it matter if databases/mongo is install from ports or pkg? I installed all dependecies manually with pkg_add(1) Any idea where to look? Thanks --mirac
