Hi All I've got a digital ocean droplet with Sonatype's Nexus installed and I'm trying to get it to start when the droplet starts. I've followed the instructions here: https://books.sonatype.com/nexus-book/reference/install-sect-service.html and updated the properties file with these: NEXUS_HOME="/usr/local/nexus-2.11.2-06" RUN_AS_USER=nexus PIDDIR="/home/nexus" and can now start and stop the service like this: service nexus start service nexus stop I added the JAVA_HOME environment variable and added JAVAM_HOME/bin to the path for the nexus user, even though I suspect they're not needed. When I restart the droplet, nexus doesn't start. The nexus log isn't written to either. I believe I have the permissions right in /etc/inid.d: -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 14639 May 28 01:48 /etc/init.d/nexus I've even tried adding: nexus ALL = NOPASSWD: /etc/init.d/nexus to the sudoers file, but all to no avail. I don't know where to check the log for service starts either. Can anyone help, please? -- Thanks Paul Paul Grenyer e: paul.grenyer@gmail.com b: paulgrenyer.blogspot.com t: pjgrenyer Have you thought what Naked Element could do for you? http://nakedelement.co.uk/ It's time to get technical: http://norfolkdevelopers.com
