Joseph Gresock updated NIFI-3353: --------------------------------- Description: To reproduce this, replace "./conf" with "/opt/nifi/data/conf" (or some other directory that's not in the nifi installation dir) in bootstrap.conf, and specify the same absolute path in the nifi.properties file as well, for all properties that use the ./conf directory. Move all conf files to the /opt/nifi/data/conf directory. In order to get this configuration to start up, you also apparently need $NIFI_HOME/conf/bootstrap.conf to be a symbolic link to the actual location of that file (in /opt/nifi/data/conf, in this case). E.g.: {code} $ ls -al $NIFI_HOME/conf lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 19 Jan 12 13:27 bootstrap.conf -> /opt/nifi/data/conf/bootstrap.conf {code} Starting up nifi shows that the nifi-bootstrap.log is created but not written to, although all other log files are successfully written to. I was able to work around this by simply linking the entire $NIFI_HOME/conf directory to /opt/nifi/data/conf: {code} $ ls -al $NIFI_HOME drwxr-xr-x. 2 nifi nifi 4096 Dec 23 10:58 bin lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 19 Jan 12 13:27 conf -> /opt/nifi/data/conf {code} was: To reproduce this, replace "./conf" with "/opt/nifi/data/conf" (or some other directory that's not in the nifi installation dir) in bootstrap.conf, and specify the same absolute path in the nifi.properties file as well, for all properties that use the ./conf directory.
