Hi Chitra, Depends what version you are using, but it was a bug in one of the releases - if you do any upgrades, you might need to change the permissions on one of the log files:
Try this and see what happens: chmod 777 /usr/share/cloud/management/logs/catalina.out Len -----Original Message----- From: Chitra Manjunath [mailto:chitra_manjun...@infosys.com] Sent: 12 August 2013 12:06 To: users@cloudstack.apache.org Subject: cloud-management Service not running Hi All, I changed the default system offerings for System VM's. I followed the guide http://cloudstack.apache.org/docs/en-US/Apache_CloudStack/4.1.1/html/Admin_Guide/sys-offering-sysvm.html After restarting the cloud-management service . Getting below error "cloud-management dead but pid file exists The pid file locates at /var/run/cloud-management.pid and lock file at /var/lock/subsys/cloud-management. Starting cloud-management will take care of them or you can manually clean up". I followed the below steps: 1. rm /var/run/cloud-management.pid 2. rm / var/lock/subsys/cloud-management. 3. Service cloud-management restart But no help, it's not working. If anyone faced this error. Suggest the solution.
