Migrating a previously non-root configuration to root

You can run a deployment manager or an application server as root in WebSphere Application Server Version 6.0.x when you previously used a non-root user ID on Linux and UNIX platforms in Version 5.x.

Procedure

Set the ownership of the profile or deployment manager directory to be the same as the user under which WebSphere Application Server is to run.

This must be done in order for the deployment manager or application servers to run correctly.

As a root user, run the following commands:
cd $WASROOT/profiles/  
chown -R wasadmin dmgr/  
chgrp -R wasndgrp dmgr/  
chmod -R 755 dmgr/  
... 
cd $WASROOT/profiles/dmgr/bin
./startManager.sh
where the profile name is dmgr run as a user in wasadmin with the primary group wasndgrp.
