I've encountered one like this before and the root cause was there's no clear owner of splunk folder and files underneath it. I might be wrong, though.</P> <PRE><CODE>chown -R &lt;user_to_start_splunk&gt;:&lt;group_name&gt; /opt/splunk </CODE></PRE> <P>Best Regards,</P> <P>Vincent</P> Tue, 30 Sep 2014 02:10:39 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/All-Apps-and-Add-ons/fail-to-restart-Splunk-after-installing-DB-collector/m-p/145017#M12798 vincenteous 2014-09-30T02:10:39Z
