opmnctl start as root accidently

Nothing worse than this.  You’ve been good.  You’ve been careful.  everything is installed as jde812, the entire oracle SOA suite…  JDE server manager, everything.  And then you go and wreck it all by starting things up as root accidently…  Then nothing will start as jde812 anymore…  Doh!

Anyway, not too hard to recover from.  Generally everything will be struggling to write logs.  So not much will start.  All you need to do is chown and chgrp all of the dirs back to the original user and owner.  I generally go to the JDE_HOME dir for SM and the root dir for the oracle install and run:

chgrp –R jde812 *

chown –R jde812 *

Then jde owns all of the logs and other items that it needs to write to.  You will then be able to start up the web servers and serverManager agent and go go go!
