[SOLUTION]

this script use a tmp folder with permisions to exec by default /tmp
in my case, I have CPANEL, and by default does not stop running scripts in the / tmp

then...

it is necessary to create a tmp directory..

# mkdir /usr/local/fop2/tmp

and set a new tmp folder

# export PAR_GLOBAL_TMPDIR=/usr/local/fop2/tmp

edit a init script

nano /etc/init.d/fop2

case "$1" in
  start)
        echo -n "Starting Flash Operator Panel 2: "

        # Here set a new tmp folder
        export PAR_GLOBAL_TMPDIR=/usr/local/fop2/tmp

        daemon $DAEMON $OPTIONS
        RETVAL=$?
        echo
        [ $RETVAL -eq 0 ] && touch /var/lock/subsys/fop2_server
        ;;
stop)

and now,

root@hosting [/usr/local/fop2]# ./fop2_server -X 3

** MANAGER CONNECTION Connecting to localhost:5038 (Server 0)
** MANAGER CONNECTION Connected to localhost:5038 (Server 0)
....

its working 🙂

Regards!

And try to catch me on the live help if you can provide access to your server.

How long did you wait if it is taking the terminal? A few seconds, A couple of minutes? Did you hit ctrl-c to stop it at any time? Did you download fop2 for centos5 64 bits?

If so, disable it or look at its log to enable fop2_server run. You can try by typing in the command line:

setenforce 0

After that, try to start the server in debug mode:

/usr/local/fop2/fop2_server -X 3

After a few seconds, you should start seeing quite a lot of lines of output.. If you do not see anything, you might want to stop it with ctrl-C, then removing the /tmp/par-root directory and try again.

Once you see some output, the service should start normally.
