installation problems

I have downloaded the bitnami-lampstack-1.0-beta-3-linux-installer.bin and followed the instructions in quick start guide (e.g.enter $ chmod 755 bitnami-lampstack-1.0-beta-3-linux.bin) and get a “no such file or directory” error message. I then tried modifying the permissions in the properties menu to “read & write” and checked the box “allow executing file as a program”. When I click on the installer.bin file, I am prompted to designate an application to open the file. Please advise.

Hi,

When you have executed:

$ chmod 755 bitnami-lampstack-1.0-beta-3-linux.bin and you have get “no such file or directory”, it seems that the bitnami binary file is not in the folder where you have executed the “chmod” action.

Try the following. Go to a Terminal and execute:

$ cd ~/Desktop
$ ls

You should get that the bitnami-lampstack binary file is in this folder. Then execute:

$ chmod 755 bitnami-lampstack-1.0-beta-3-linux-installer.bin

If you get “no such file or directory” you should go to the directory where bitnami-lampstack binary file was saved. Then execute:

$ ./bitnami-lampstack-1.0-beta-3-linux-installer.bin

And thats all.

I’ve got the message below when started the installation. I tried to give permission for all (chmod 777), tried to crate another folder for installation but didn’t work. I’m using fedora 9 in a notebook toshiba satellite. Could you help me?

One of the folders in the /opt/lappstack-1.1-1 path has not executing permissions for ‘others’. Please select a different installation directory.

Hi,

This is an issue that we have solved it but we have not released a new version yet. Could you try to install as non root user?

Hi,

As a non root user I got this other message:

Error creating directory /opt/lappstack-1.1-1/permission_test

Thanks for for your help. I can wait for for the new version, or make any test you want here ok?

As non-root user you can not install on /opt, try to install in your home directory.

ops… sorry
Installing in my home directory, the message that appears is:

Error changing ownership of /home/mahralves/lapp/permission_test to daemon

Sorry but this code should not be executed as non root user. Are you sure that you are executing the stack as non root user?

Well, I’m sure I’m using mahralves and that I have also the root user user here… As you can see below, I’ve tried (as mahralves) to create a directory named lapp in /home as and had a “permission denied” as answer. But I can create another user, if you think it’s usefull, and try to install with this new one.

/home/mahralves/Download/bitnami-lappstack-1.1-1-linux-installer.bin
[mahralves@toshiba ~]$ mkdir /home/lapp
mkdir: não é possível criar o diretório `/home/lapp': Permissão negada
[mahralves@toshiba ~]$ mkdir /home/mahralves/lapp
[mahralves@toshiba ~]$ /home/mahralves/Download/bitnami-lappstack-1.1-1-linux-installer.bin
[mahralves@toshiba ~]$ /home/mahralves/Download/bitnami-lappstack-1.1-1-linux-installer.bin
[mahralves@toshiba ~]$

Ok thanks, we will try to release a new version as soon as possible.

Thanks a lot for the help, I’ll wait for the new version.

Hello again. The new version has solved my problems. Now I need to recompile php (I need dbase extension enabled), but can`t find ./configure. in any folder inside /opt/lappstack-1.1-2/. Can you help me with that?

Thanks

Marco

Hi Marco,

Do you know if this module only can be installed during the compilation? In this case we should include this module on our side. Currently it is not possible to recompile PHP included in the Stack.

Cheers.

I think the installation must be in the compilation. I tried to modify , in php.ini, the line of this extension, uncommenting it, but didn`t work. I tried either yum install php-db and php-dbase (Fedora 9), but didn`t work too, so I think I have to recompile. If you have another solution, I`ll be grateful…smile!

The dbase extension is needed because we have to import some .dbf files.

Thanks

Marco

Sorry, in this case we will try to include this module in the next version of LAPP and LAMP.

Cheers.

Ok, thanks again for the help.

Cheers

Marco

Hello,
I am having the same problem with bitnami-lappstack-1.2-3-linux-installer.bin, any ideas why?

Thanks
Matthew

Hi,

What is the exact problem? Do you can not run it? If you have a Linux x64 distribution you need to install compat libraries to install BitNami. For instance in an Ubuntu system you need to run the following command:

$ sudo apt-get install ia32-libs

Hello,

I downloaded the LAPP stack (bitnami-lappstack-3.0.6-0-linux-installer.bin) I used the following commands. (Ubuntu 9.04)

chmod 775 bitnami-lappstack-3.0.6-0-linux-installer.bin
./bitnami-lappstack-3.0.6-0-linux-installer.bin

The installler starts, and at the 45% this error messsge pops out.

Unable to create symbolic link /home/aldo/lappsatck-3.0.6-0/common/bin/captoinfo → tic

do I have miss to consider or install something??

Thanks a Lot.

Aldo.

Hi,

Could you check the free space in the machine?

Hi

The machine has 64 GiB of free space.

I investigate in some forums and i change the sudo timestamp to 60 minutes and then i used the following commands

chmod 755 bitnami-lappstack-3.0.6-0-linux-installer.bin
sudo ./bitnami-lappstack-3.0.6-0-linux-installer.bin

The installation wizard went this time until 73% and then a similar error pop’s out

Then i tried again after cleaning the installation folder and again the wizard ran up to the 45 % with the same error

Thanks a lot.

Aldo.

Really strange. Could you check the free i-nodes in the machine? “df -i”

Hi here the nodes

Filesystem Inodes IUsed IFree IUse% Mounted on

Sorry, it is really strange. Could you try in a different installation directory or in a different system?
