HI Paraskevi , Can you please confirm is it a fresh install on a new VM? Can you please try to run these commands and try again ``` rm -f /var/run/gluu-server-3.1.6.pid df -aP | grep gluu-server-3.1.6 | awk '{print $6}' | xargs -I {} umount -l {} ```

Hi. Yes, it is a fresh install on a Ubuntu 16.04 VM. I run the command that you mentioned and then I run the command to start gluu server and i get the message "[OK] Starting gluu-server..." Then I am trying to login but I get the error "gluu-server-3.1.6 is not running. Please start it by running : /etc/init.d/gluu-server-3.1.6 start".

I am not able to reproduce this on Ubuntu16.04 instance. Please try to re-install the package and let me know ``` apt-get purge gluu-server-3.1.6.sp1 apt-get update apt-get install gluu-server-3.1.6.sp1 ```
