I've followed the directions to setup YouTrack as a service provided by JetBrains, however when I try to use the command:

service youtrack start

I get the following message:

"/home/youtrack/standalone/bin/wrapper"
"/home/youtrack/standalone/conf/wrapper.conf"
wrapper.syslog.ident=youtrack
wrapper.pidfile="/home/youtrack/standalone/youtrack.pid"
wrapper.daemonize=TRUE

Difficult to figure what it's trying to say but it clearly does not start properly. After the message nothing more happens and no youtrack.pid appears in the standalone directory.

Permissions

The owner of the directory /home/youtrack was set properly to the user youtrack. However all subdirectories, including standalone were all owned by root.

After using the command chown -R youtrack:youtrack /home/youtrack, the problem was solved.

This also caused /logs/wrapper.log to not be able to properly log anything without write permissions, hence the lack of errors.

Memory

After fixing the file/folder permissions, YouTrack was still failing to start. This was due to the initial memory allowance being set to 256M. Changing it to 512M solved it.
