Hi All,

I'm a brand new OpenKM user, doing my first installation this afternoon :-)

I downloaded it from the web site and installed it on a RHEL5.5 VM.
Everything went fine and I can reach OpenKM on port 8080 :D

However I still have basic questions, for which I didn't found any answer neither on this forum nor in the documentation.
That's why I decided to make this small post, thinking that could help me :wink:
  • On Linux should OpenKM run as root or can we start it with an other user? Basically after a standard installation run.sh works as root but not as an other user
  • I guess that the user running OpenKM will be the repository owner in the FileSystem, isn't it? So if I run OpenKM as root, the repository folder will be owned by root
  • Is there any best practice about which user should be used to run OpenKM?
  • How do we configure OpenKM to automatically start with the server, how should the startup script look like? As run.sh doesn't give the prompt back, I guess
    that it should be started in nohup & in the startup script (in init.d)
  • How do we make a stop script for OpenKM when the server shutdown? Usually in the init.d script there is a case which manage the start and the stop signals.
    Which command to use to stop the application? Is not necessary to stop OpenKM on server shutdown/restart?
  • I can see often in the documentation a variable JBOSS_HOME. Where is this variable set? I tried an echo on it but it is empty. SHould I set it in the .profile?
That's it (for the beginning) :P

Thanks in advance for your help
