HI Flamber
any help why the metabase server is not starting?. I am using centos 7.9, java 11 on the server.
@David_St Check the logs. The JAR file is located in /root, which normally only root-user has access to.

Follow this:
https://www.metabase.com/docs/latest/operations-guide/running-metabase-on-debian.html
I would highly suggest not trying to host Metabase if you are not familiar with running servers. Use Metabase Cloud instead: https://www.metabase.com/pricing/
I set up metabase in etc/metabase/metabase.jar now and reset the path in service file, config file too.
but any idea why this command is giving error
sudo chown syslog:adm /var/log/metabase.log
chown: invalid user: ‘syslog:adm’
@David_St Because the user syslog doesn't exists on CentOS - you'll have to figure out what CentOS uses for the user.
Thanks flamber i set this to ```
sudo chown root:adm /var/log/metabase.log
I hope running metabase over apache is not a restriction.
@David_St There's no restrictions. Try searching the forum, you'll see others using Apache as a reverse-proxy. Or search the internet, since reverse-proxy is not specific to Metabase.

changed the folder of installation then also its the same problem
@David_St I have no idea which user you are running the service as, or what the permissions are to /opt/metabase
If you follow the documentation exactly, then it will work, but perhaps you should consider using Metabase Cloud instead.
