Configuring UDPCast Failed

[george1421]

@NayanaAdassuriya The very last line is what is important in the case of udpcast.

Are you installing FOG as root or using sudo to install FOG?

[george1421]

@george1421 This is where its failing with the >> with permission denied. Basically it tells us the user account you use to install FOG doesn’t have rights to run configure.

    cd $udpcastout
    errorStat $?
    dots "Configuring UDPCast"
    >> ./configure >>$workingdir/error_logs/fog_error_${version}.log 2>&1
    errorStat $?
    dots "Building UDPCast"
    make >>$workingdir/error_logs/fog_error_${version}.log 2>&1

I’m still going to create a new FOG vm this morning to ensure that the installer works correctly.

[NayanaAdassuriya]

@george1421 yes I’m using sudo. does it required any special permission. if so how to set is to user. sorry I’m new to linux

[george1421]

@NayanaAdassuriya do you log into fog server as root?

I almost have a new centos 7 vm template done too. I will start to install FOG in about 30 minutes (as time permits)

Nothing is wrong with CentOS 7, it’s been passing my automated tests every day for over a month. The issue is in this pre-built VM he’s trying to use.

[NayanaAdassuriya]

@george1421 I tried with both secondary user and root user. both shows the same issue. I have grated the permission to the secondary user this way. https://www.liquidweb.com/kb/how-to-add-a-user-and-grant-root-privileges-on-centos-7/
but still has the same issue.

Can you provide the installer error log?

In your “installer” directory (the bin/) portition, you should have a folder called error_logs

In there will be a file for the 1.3.5 installer.

[NayanaAdassuriya]

@george1421 as the root user

[NayanaAdassuriya]

@Tom-Elliott already uploaded the error_log in the previous reply below

[george1421]

@Tom-Elliott permission denied to run ./configure

[Tom Elliott]

Mind running the installer as root?

The message it’s showing is configure is not allowed to run.

You may also want to try:

mount -o remount,exec /tmp

This should ensure you can execute within the tmp folder. If you do have to do the mount command, restart the server when done installing to ensure all the folders are mounted as they’re expected.

[NayanaAdassuriya]

@Tom-Elliott You are the genius. This works like charm. I will buy you a jug of beer if you come to Singapore ever. probably you could consider add this work around to wiki. Thank you so much!

[george1421]

@NayanaAdassuriya Would you tell us which worked? Tom gave you two options.

[NayanaAdassuriya]

@george1421 I have ran this like before start installation. mount -o remount,exec /tmp
