app_install problem

[Chris Watson]

I get the following when try app_install from /usr/share/tlapps
[root@hplx tlapps]# ./app_install
************************************************************************
This installation contains archives of the following software:

1. Apache 1.3.19 Web Server
2. MCGA Proxy
3. Jakarta/Tomcat JSP/Servlet Engine 3.2.1

You can elect to install these applications in any combination. If you
wish to install either the MCGA Proxy or Jakarta/Tomcat, however,
you _must_ also choose to install Apache HTTPD or have previously
installed it using this installer. In the latter case, the installer will
prompt you for the details of the compartment into which Apache HTTPD was
installed.

I don't understand why I am getting error messages from this script.

I ran this after logging in via ssh then an su - root.

Please advise, as I will now have to delete and start again.

Hi,

is it possible that /compt does not exist or
isn't mounted. I had the same experience. So
before You start the script, make sure /compt does exist.

The /compt directory did not exist.

I couldn't tell what was wrong, as later in the script /compt gets created.

Thanks.

Were you in the syshi compartment after you did the su - root?

No, I was in system.
