Error in writing to directory

[Robin Geary]

Hi,

Im trying to install the Oracle 10g patchset.

Tmp directory is...
/dev/vg00/lvol10 6144000 2078276 3811821 35% /prod

Plenty of room, logged in as oracle user who owns all of the Oracle files in the tmp directory...

error reads...

Preparing to launch Oracle Universal Installer from /prod/tmp/OraInstall2006-03-

24_08-39-56AM. Please wait ...sh: /prod/tmp/Oracle_10g_patch/install/unzip: Exec

ute permission denied.

Error in writing to directory /prod/tmp/OraInstall2006-03-24_08-39-56AM. Please

ensure that this directory is writable and has atleast 69 MB of disk space. Inst

allation cannot continue.

: Error 0

Thanks in advance.

HPUX 11.11
Oracle 10g release 2 for PA RISC 64

Hello,

Check the permission for /prod/tmp/ , also for
/prod/tmp/Oracle_10g_patch/install/unzip ..

Ownership and perms on /prod and irs bellow that? How are they?

[Muthukumar_5]

Check the permission of /prod file system to give write access to oracle user.

$ ls -ld /prod/tmp/OraInstall2006-03-24_08-39-56AM

Are you getting write permission there?

Check the whole directory structure of /prod/ directory for write permission.

$ find /prod -type d -exec ls -ld {} \;

will give that.

permissions in /prod

total 20292
-rw-r--r-- 1 root sys 10240000 Oct 7 13:27 PHSS_33033.depot
-rw-r--r-- 1 root sys 148372 Oct 10 13:32 PHSS_33033.text
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 96 Feb 20 22:01 lost+found
drwxrwxrwx 6 oracle oinstall 1024 Mar 24 08:40 tmp

Oracle owns all in tmp

You can not write to /prod/tmp (even though it has 777), because, you do not have write perms to /prod in first place.

Hi


Check directory and mount point permissions.


Can other use write to dir


does touch /tmp/test work

Hello,

You can't since you dont have permission for /prod in first place.

I installed Oracle from that same directory, just yesterday, using same method, same user.

[Muthukumar_5 · Accepted solution]

Change the permission of /prod/ directory as,

# chmod 777 /prod/

using root user. Try now.

Hello,

You would rather choose

# chmod -R 755 /prod as root.

Thanks the chmod 775 seemd to do the trick
