Cannot start Bamboo with bamboo user

etiennenoel August 3, 2015

When I try to start bamboo with the bamboo user, it simply doesn't start. When I look in catalina.out.log, I get the following error and I can't access bamboo via its url:

However, when I start bamboo with sudo, it works. I can't run bamboo using sudo because some scripts in my deployments need to be run without sudo.

I am using bamboo 5.7.2

Hi, was there a resolution to this? I'm encountering the same issue on Bamboo 5.7.2.

Hello Etienne,

Thank you for your question.

Please, make sure the "bamboo user" you are referring to has full permission in <bamboo-install> and <bamboo-home> directories.

Since you are able to run Bamboo using sudo and not with a non-admin user, it seems there is some issue with this user.

Kind regards,
