File System Permissions

When installing FME Server in a system where specific file system permissions are enforced, there are a few gotchas that you should be aware of. The following examples assume that the default options were selected during installation.

For clarity, we will assume that there are three distinct users with the following responsibilities:

• fmeadmin: install and license FME Server
• fmerun: run FME Server
• tomcat: run Tomcat

Installation and Licensing

The fmeadmin user will require write permissions on the following directories:

<FMEServerDir>
<FMEServerDir>/Server/fme/licenses
<TomcatDir>/webapps

Run Time

The fmerun user will require write permission on the following directories:

<FMEServerDir>/DefaultResults
<FMEServerDir>/Logs (and all sub directories)
<FMEServerDir>/Server/repository
<TomcatDir>/ROOT/fmedatadownloadresults

The tomcat user will require write permission on the following directories:

<FMEServerDir>/Logs/<serviceSubDirectories>
<FMEServerDir>/Server/upload
