Hi, I was able to fix this issue on my setup. As Shivendra suggested in his mail, it is the current working directory of supervisor process that causes the issue.
The script that I use to start supervisor(wrapper script on $STORM_HOME/bin/storm) switches from root user to storm user before the supervisor is started. During the switching the current working directory of supervisor process got set to /root due to a mistake that I committed in my wrapper script. In the wrapper script I tried to preserve the environment of root user which made the current working directory of supervisor process to point to /root. You can issue the following command after replacing <supervisor-pid> with process id of supervisor to find the current working directory of supervisor: sudo ls -l /proc/<supervisor-pid>/cwd After modifying the script to use the environment variables of storm user during the switching, I found that the current work directory of supervisor is set to /home/storm. This change in the script helped me to fix the issue. Thanks, Richards Peter.
