Hey @junbrother93 ,

after trying to run SCM-Manager on a virtual Centos server, we stumbled upon an issue we had some time ago which may explain, why your server isn’t starting up. But this only applies, if there is no data, yet.

So if you are on a fresh server, please [follow this instruction](https://community.cloudogu.com/t/problems-with-scm-manager-installation-start-on-ubuntu-20-04/520/8) to make sure that your random generator is initialized (you’d have to replace `apt-get` with `yum` for Centos). This fixed the start-up issue on my virtual server.

If you already have a directory with SCM data (aka “scm-home”), you have to make sure that this is configured in the `config.yml` file under `webapp/homeDir` (by default this is `/var/lib/scm` and it should be the same default as for 2.x). If you had this configured differently in SCM-Manager 2.x, this configuration may has got lost during the update.

![screenshot of the config.yml file with a different scm-home](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex013/uploads/cloudogu2/original/2X/5/5f15f4197440dad3b0015a96cca53903939125bd.png)

Does this help?

Regards  
René
