Drupal will not install on OpenSUSE v11.0

I have ran ‘chmod 755 /home/...’ to change the file’s permissions and make it executable, however, when I click on the file to run it, or try to run it from terminal, I get the following error:

“Couldn’t display ”/home/user/Desktop/bitnami-drupal-6.3-installer.bin”. There is no application installed for this file type”

What application is required to install a .bin file?

When I tried Package Manager, I get an error stating the file is not a valid .rpm file.

Also, after closing the box that opens with one or the other of these error messages, terminal will then give me a message stating “Segmentation fault.”

I am running OpenSUSE v11.0 gnome as the root user.

Last post and then I’ll wait for a reply (sorry I didn’t put these all in one post).

I just tried to install the bitnami-rubystack-1.1-0-linux-installer.bin package as well and got the same “Segmentation fault.” error in terminal, but I did not get the “There is no application installed for this file type” message.

Hi,

We will investigate this issue. In the meantime, what’s the exact error you get when executing the file from the terminal as in

./bitnami-drupal-6.3-0-linux-installer.bin

Cheers

This is just copy pasted directly from my Terminal Window. I input the file location, press Enter, the CPU fan spins a little faster for about 3 seconds, then the Segmentation fault error comes up and it drops down to the next terminal line.

linux-ifvq:~ # /home/tom/Desktop/bitnami-drupal-6.3-0-installer.bin
Segmentation fault

Hi,

Are you using a 64 bit distribution? What is the result of typing

uname -a

Also, what is the output of the command

ldd bitnami-drupal-6.3-0-linux-installer.bin

Cheers

32-bit. Or at least that’s what I clicked on when I downloaded it.

uname -a
Linux linux-ifvq 2.6.25.9-0.2-pae #1 SMP 2008-06-28 00:00:07 +0200 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux

idd bitnami-drupal-6.3-0-linux-installer.bin
linux-ifvq:~ # ldd /home/tom/Desktop/bitnami-drupal-6.3-0-linux-installer.bin not a dynamic executable

Damn! Is it possible that the file you downloaded is corrupted? Can you check the md5 sum?

md5sum bitnami-drupal-6.3-0-linux-installer.bin

The output should be the same as in

a86ea7bba9f1ab144922a2dbbfa42d53 bitnami-drupal-6.3-0-linux-installer.bin

I will start downloading the new OpenSUSE, just in case.

By the way, is this happening with Gnome SUSE or KDE SUSE?

I just executed the installer in both versions without problems. Please, check the md5 to see if your downloaded file can be a corrupted one.

Cheers

linux-ifvq:~ # md5sum /home/tom/Desktop/bitnami-drupal-6.3-0-linux-installer.bin

I use Gnome SUSE.

Could you share how you installed these, please? Maybe I’m just doing something wrong (I have been known to do that from time to time).

Hi,

I just downloaded the stack, and from the terminal I entered

./bitnami-drupal-6.3-0-linux-installer.bin

That make the installer start without the Segmentation Fault error. Maybe something in your system is corrupted? Is it a new one? Could you please try the stack in an OpenSUSE 11 Live CD?

I don’t have a live CD, I’ll have to download one.

The OpenSUSE 11 install is only a month or so old. I waited until it was out of it’s beta phase before I downloaded it and installed it and since then I have reinstalled it one time before.

I will try the live CD and if I can install there, I’ll reinstall my OS.

I’ll post the results later.

I tried to install this while running the OpenSUSE 11 Live CD, I got the same thing, Segmentation fault.

So, I ran Memtest 86+ (Google search showed several articles stating this could be a bad memory module or memory slot); 10 tests, no errors.

Then I tried a Ubuntu 8.04 Live CD I had lying around and got the program to install with no issues.

The only issue I can come up with is this is just a compatibility issue with OpenSUSE 11.

I don’t have any experience with OpenSUSE, but maybe it will get fixed with some updating?

Hi,

Can you try with

./bitnami-drupal-6.3-0-linux-installer.bin—mode xwindow

and see what happens?

I was having the same issue with openSUSE 11.0 and the Tracks stack. Daniel’s fix worked for me. Thanks!
