Description:
I would like to make use of the start/stop script found in /exlibris/startup. It is not working. Oracle starts and stops fine using this script. But attempts to do the other parts fail.

httpd startup gives this error:

/exlibris/aleph/a20_1/product/local/apache/bin/httpd: error while loading shared libraries: libssl.so.0.9.8: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

and the Aleph startup gives this error:

/exlibris/aleph/u20_1/alephe/aleph_startup.log: Permission denied.

and does no startup.

Each of these, run interactively, do work properly: As root, I can go to /exlibris/aleph/u20_1/alephe/apache and start apache fine with ./bin/apachectl start. And I can also go to $alephe_root and run aleph_startup to start the various processes.

Might I have the wrong information in /exlibris/startup/start_stop? Or some other permission problems?

Resolution:
In the init.dat file you are starting apache on port 80 with aleph user.
This is usually not done and directly relates to the fact that when you are logged in as root and try to start it then it works.
You need to check this in init.dat also to root?

Change:
Y:apache aleph ...

to:
Y:apache root ...

And, regarding the permissions error on the log file....
You start aleph with user aleph and try to send to the log file which was created as user aleph20. They should both be aleph.
