Starting Integrator...

Starting Interchange...

- it is not during installation, so not a fresh install, it was running correctly until now
- not having upper case letters in hostname
- no mismatch between dns and what is in /etc/hosts
- starter port is free before starting B2Bi

Resolution

-- a possible reason of this error is that the shared directory is empty (for instance because the user has to move the location of the shared storage and the change has not been properly)

-- check the B2BI_SHARED_ROOT value and make sure that it points to the shared directory

-- if it does, stop B2Bi, run a ConfigureB2Bi.sh and try again
