Re: [Exist-open] Running exist 6.0.1 as a service on aws linux

[<ml-...@fl...>]

Hayim,

at first sight, your existdb.service file looks fine. I would first 
start checking the ExecStart path. If the path is valid, i would 
recommend to check the logs, especially $EXIST_HOME/logs/exist.log. 
Errors during startup should show up there.

You may also try to run the startup.sh script manually as existdb user:

sudo -u existdb /home/ec2-user/exist-6.0.1/bin/startup.sh

To stop the exist server started this way, just hit CTRL+C.

Regarding

sudo chown -R existdb:existdb .

You're right, it's only one command. The documentation is slightly 
outdated in that regard. Initially, it contained two separate commands 
to set the user and the group separately. The single command above 
combines both steps.

Greetings,
Florian
