In the $NEXUS_HOME/logs/wrapper.log there is
wrapper | ERROR: Could not write pid file /var/run/nexus.pid: Permission denied
and the run user is local user ‘nexus’ but /var/run looks like it is all root:root.
What permissions are needed on which files in order to continue the service start?
Hope I’m giving enough information.
