Well,

on the first one - in which directory are you located when you try to restart the server? can you try

- login as root
- type cd<Return> to get to your root user's homedirectory.
- use "omshut" to shutdown the server
- use "omrc" to start the server

Do you still get the permission error message now? If so, we should work on this.

The error you've posted is the script trying to shutdown tomcat while it is not running.

Please try
- pgrep java
... if a process is running, kill it with pkill or kill
- cd /opt/scalix-tomcat/logs
- rm -f *
This clears out the logfiles, then
- service scalix-tomcat start
What logfiles do you see there then and what are then contents?
Does pgrep java now show a process running?
if so, what about lsof -i :8009

Tha nks,
Florian.

Well it turned out to be a memory error. Scalix was uninstalled and deleted all directories. then changed memory to 256 and we could login to the SAC interface.
