https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=246284 Summary: Geronimo does not start on presence of special directories Product: openSUSE 10.2 Version: Final Platform: All OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Major Priority: P5 - None Component: Java AssignedTo: dbornkessel@novell.com ReportedBy: office@weberhofer.at QAContact: qa@suse.de This is the error message when geronimo is started and a build-root directory exists in /var/tmp. c-web1:~ # /etc/init.d/geronimo start Starting Geronimo (/srv/www/geronimo/base) chown: cannot access `/srv/www/geronimo/base/var/temp/build-root/dev/fd/3': No such file or directory chown: cannot access `/srv/www/geronimo/base/var/temp/build-root/lib/udev/devices/fd/3': No such file or directory see /var/log/geronimo/geronimo.out for log messages There seems to be a VERY problematic line in the startup-script on line 134: chown -R -L --dereference $GERONIMO_USER:$GERONIMO_GROUP $GERONIMO_BASE/var In the distribution $GERONIMO_BASE/var is linked to /var/tmp, and this directory is used by all different applications: I don't know where to better map it, but this location is not the best.
