Execute permission denied error.

[Paul W Gronbach Jr]

Hello,
I am trying to run the following command on an HPUX 11.0 box, Progress 9.1B16(RDMS):
prostrct create imts1 imts1.st ?blocksize 8192

and get the following error:
/fs_pgm/dlc.srv/bin/prostrct: /fs_pgm/dlc.srv/bin/_dbutil: Execute permission denied.

The attributes of _dbutil are ?rwsr-xr-x and prostrct are ?rwxrwxrwx.

It appears to be a permission thing but I don't know where else to look. The only change to the system since the last time I did this was to go from Progress 9.1B08 to 9.1B16.

Any one have any ideas on where I else I need to look. TIA!!!

Can you do a what on those executables and post the output? The only other time I've seen execute permission denied (other than the obvious) is when trying to execute a binary not built for this platform.


Also mention what OS/Level you're running.

Hi,

I notice that the setuid bit is set. I would check to make sure that the proper owner (possibly root or progress) actually owns both files.

Santosh,
Thanks. Your response triggered a thought that prove to be correct and that was that I had improperly ftp'd the upgrade files to the Unix box. What I had done was unzipped them on a W2K box and then ftp'd them to the HP9000...bad idea...I just ftp'd the tar file to the HP9000 and unzipped via tar...it works now...thanks again.
