iServer Express - Install aborts in linux
al91206
Hi All,
We're trying to get our environment squared away, and when we are installing iServer Express on our RedHat 3.4.6 linux server it aborts about 3/4 of the way into installing files. After it aborts it asks if we want to turn on the server right away - but nothing really happens.
We did have an installation about a month back and instead of uninstalling it we simply deleted the AcServer and acshared folders. Could this be the problem?
Also - when installing it can't find the xfvb files in our X11 directory.
We are running the install as root.
Anyone else experience this or know a possible solution?
Thanks,
Alfred

Alfred,
Are you getting any error before the install aborts? The install log file under /tmp/root/is could give us some pointer.
Do you have xvfb files under X11 directory?

Thanks for the reply!
If I go to /tmp/root - I only find 1 file: istar.log - and at the end of that file I get the following:
Everything is Ok
Folders: 6
Files: 356
Size: 6803278
Compressed: 516417
I believe that is the log when you run TAR on the tar file. We are using the setup files on this site - here is the name: linux-iserver-express-100C.gz
The exact error I get regarding the Xvfb files is: Install could not locate the required Xvfb binary under /usr/bin/X11/ folder. Please refer to install documentation to configure the X-Frame Buffer at a later time.
We have lots of files under the X11 directory - I don't know what it's looking for however.

Alfred,
The install looks for this binary /usr/bin/X11/Xvfb to start Xvfb. If you don't have Xvfb you can choose not to use any Xvfb at install time. When you installed old version of iServer Express, what XServer option did you choose?
You have few options now:
1> Install Xvfb in this machine.
2> Install iServer Express again and choose not to use any XServer.
3> Comment out $AC_SERVER_HOME/xvfb/bin/startxvfb.sh in start_srvr.sh file and see if it works.
