Permission denied after starting Nexus 2.14.13-01

rahulsaini8 · July 8, 2019, 2:36pm

I’ve recently installed Nexus 2.14.13-01 on a CentOS machine.
It was working fine a day before, but now I’m getting error mentioned at the end of this post.

I’m currently using ‘nexus’ as the user to operate the repo.
And I’ve also increased the ulimit as suggested here.

bash-4.2$ whoami
nexus
bash-4.2$ ulimit -Hn
65536
bash-4.2$ ulimit -Sn
65536

Please suggest what should I do as it is creating a blocker for me.

Thank you

Nexus can’t create a file in the work directory. This likely happened because it was mistakenly run as root user. Try running "chown -R nexus " against the work and installation directories.
