Question

Granting READ,WRITE,EXECUTE to user account on Linux (Centos)

Hello Team,

Please, do you know of a command in linux that can help grant a user account read,write,execute when configuring a linux box.

When installing appian, I keep getting permission issues when executing the search server.

Is there a way to fully grant a user full permission to a folder and sub folders in Appian - Linux?

Thanks

error when using root account:

Future versions of Elasticsearch will require Java 11; your Java version from [/home/appian/java/jre] does not meet this requirement. Consider switching to a distribution of Elasticsearch with a bundled JDK. If you are already using a distribution with a bundled JDK, ensure the JAVA_HOME environment variable is not set.

    Normally, you should avoid using root. You should be creating a separate user.

    In any case, here is the command in question:

    find /home/appian -type f -exec chmod 744 {} \;

    thank you, Matt. I was able to create a user account and assigned the user owner before I could start the search server.

    But now, the site is not redirecting to the suite page (\suite).

    It displays the page below when loaded:

    and when I manually type in the suite (....com\suite); I get the same error page in the image above.

    Any help will be appreciated.

    Thanks.

    To go further, having your custom.properties and Apache config would be helpful.
