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.
This must be done in order for the deployment manager or application servers to run correctly.
cd $WASROOT/profiles/ chown -R wasadmin dmgr/ chgrp -R wasndgrp dmgr/ chmod -R 755 dmgr/ ... cd $WASROOT/profiles/dmgr/bin ./startManager.shwhere the profile name is dmgr run as a user in wasadmin with the primary group wasndgrp.
