2.2.2 installation fails

    using tomcat 5.5.7 on linux server

    got message saying apache user root invalid; that "nobody" was valid

    so, used nobody.

    slocate database was not created; message said use ubdatedb (using root) later on.

    installation failed at compiling sources.

    I then chowned to "root," since root is in my tomcat-users.xml file. Started installation again ("./install") and this time sources compiled, but at "STEP 2. Installing Campsite," installation failed. Only error message was "Installing Campsite . . . ERROR. Read install log for more information on installation error.


    Install log contains following:
    ***********************
    Installing campsite

    mkdir -p "/path/to/my/campsite/bin"

    chown root:root "/path/to/my/campsite/bin"

    chown: changing ownership of `/path/to/my/campsite/bin': Operation not permitted

    gmake: *** [install] Error 1
    ***********************

    Is there something wrong with the chown command inside the script?

    Why is the program attempting to change ownership of the directory?

    What is it that needs to be put into place before the gmake instruction can be performed?

    Can the gmake and remaining instructions be performed manually if ownership cannot be changed within the script?

    If so, which file contains the remaining instructions?

    Thanks for any help you can provide in helping me with this problem.

    Hi,

    The script tries to set the file ownership to root:root so that no other user
    can modify the file. Did the script ask for root password? Or did you run it as
    root? You may have a more strict security configuration on your system. You can
    try and comment the 'chown' line.

    Then type:

    cd [campsite_sources_dir]
    su
    make install

    This should install the Campsite base system. Type:

    /usr/local/campsite/bin/create_instance

    to create the default campsite instance.

    Please give me details about what went wrong: were you able to unarchive the
    package. Did you run the install script? What errors did you get?
