Description

In a new ubuntu environment I performed a checkout from trunk and ran the loadDefault build script.

After this had completed, I moved the ofbiz directory from my user folder to the /opt folder, and configured the Ubuntu environment to be able to run OFBiz as a service.
This entails:

• deploy a script in /etc/init.d
• set the correct permissions of the service script
• create the service user
• changed the owner and ownergroup of the files and folders in /opt/ofbiz

and then fire the service:
sudo /etc/init.d/ofbiz start

This normally starts the proces java -jar ofbiz.jar

But now nothing happens.
