Thanks for the prompt responses Mark. The size of flow.xml.gz is 20 bytes. A zcat returns nothing.
I'm seeing the process run as sudo which seems ok but I never saw it listen on port 8080. I suspect because it was initially running as root after I ran install before I changed run.as setting, the non root user was failing to write the logs as they were owned by root. I changed the ownership back to the non root user and just manually su to that user and ran it. This time was fine except I had already lost the flows when I first ran as root.
