2 - Critical Artifactory failing to start after performing a rpm upgrade to the Artifactory version 6.14.0 or latest
Steps to reproduce (Example) :
->Install Artifactory version 5.8.3 through rpm installation
rpm -i jfrog-artifactory-pro-5.8.3.rpm
-> Check permissions for '/var/opt/jfrog' and '/var/opt/jfrog/artifactory/' directories:

-> Perform Artifactory upgrade
rpm -U jfrog-artifactory-pro-6.16.0.rpm
-> Check permissions for '/var/opt/jfrog' and '/var/opt/jfrog/artifactory/' directories:

From above, we can see permissions for '/var/opr/jfrog/artifactory' directory and other sublinks getting changed from artifactory to root, due to this Artifactory service not coming up.
Workaround:
Update permissions "artifactory:artifactory" to the /var/opt/jfrog/artifactory directory, then we should be able to start the service.
chown -R artifactory:artifactory artifactory
