8. Grant executive permissions by running the following command from the parent directory of Applicare.

  • (In the example above we installed Applicare in /usr/Applicare and hence run this command from /usr directory)
chmod -R 777 Applicare/*.

9. Applicare controller port (default port 8880) and 8983 must be opened to access the Applicare controller in a browser.

  1. Installed on RHEL/CentOS/Fedora Os, use the following command to open the port.

    sudo firewall-cmd --permanent --add-port=8880/tcp
    sudo firewall-cmd --permanent --add-port=8983/tcp
