Error When Starting Wildfly 10 on Linux FileNotFoundException - jboss

Question

Hello I cant get the Wildfly 10 Server to start on Linux.
Below is the error message.
I did look into the directory but there is no folder called "log". Do I need to give Netbeans more permissions, so it can create it?

The user controlling the lifecycle of WildFly needs permissions to read and write files. You'd need to give your user permissions to /opt/wildfly directory.
