Hi,
We are reinstalling/upgrading to FME server 2017.1.1.1 (64-bit version) on our linux machine (Red hat 7). But there is permissions issue related to postgres. The installation is run with root priviledges and we have fmeserver user as part of root group. We have tried to change installation directory from opt/fmeserver -> data/fme_installation.
snippet of the installation process (express option):
Enter the port number for the Server where the Web Application Server will be installed.
[80] : 8001
...
FME has been successfully installed to /data/fme_installation
...
Setting up Database...bash: /data/fme_installation/resources/logs/installation/initDB.log: Permission denied
cp: failed to access ‘/data/fme_installation/Utilities/pgsql/data/postgresql.conf.tmp’: Permission denied
We have checked that there is no other postgres installation running during the installation time.

Follow-up:
We managed to successfully install the server. The issue was the permissions on the installation file (.run). After changing the permissions to fmeserver as owner and fmeserver as group it started to work.
