Templating Install on Solaris

I need some help with a problem I am having when trying to install Teamsite Templating 5.0.2 on our new Solaris Server.

I have completed the installation of Teamsite v5.0.2 onto our new server and am now attempting the installation of Teamsite Templating module v5.0.2 and am experiencing problems.

Having copied across the gunzipped installation file to /usr/temp on our Solaris server, I firstly executed the following command:

gunzip –c IWOVtst-sol.5.0.2.0.Build7003.pkg.gz | pkgtrans /dev/fd/0 /usr/temp IWOVtst

I then went to the /usr/temp directory and executed the following command to execute the installation:

pkgadd -d . IWOVtst

This gave me the following error message:

## Executing checkinstall script. /usr/temp/IWOVtst/install/checkinstall: /usr/temp/IWOVtst/install/checkinstall: cannot open pkgadd:

ERROR: checkinstall script did not complete successfully Installation of failed. No changes were made to the system.

I then tried unpacking the zip file into the following file: IWOVtst-sol.5.0.2.0.Build7 003.pkg Then executing this alternative command:

pkgadd -d /usr/temp/IWOVtst-sol.5.0.2.0.Build7003.pkg

This gave me the following results:

The following packages are available: 1 IWOVtst Interwoven TeamSite Templating (sparc) 5.0.2.0 Select package(s) you wish to process (or 'all' to process all packages). (default: all) [?,??,q]: 1

ERROR: checkinstall script did not complete successfully Installation of failed. No changes were made to the system.

So in both cases the checkinstall script located @ /usr/temp/IWOVtst/install failed to execute when called by the package installation.

When I type the following command at the prompt:

/usr/temp/IWOVtst/install/checkinstall

The script runs correctly and displays the following output:

INSTALLDIR=/usr/iw-home

Has anyone else ever experienced problems with this part of the installation before? or have any other suggestions? Any help would be greatly appreciated as I am stuck in the middle of our migration until this is resolved.

after you do the gunzip go and see the IWOVtst directory permissions it should be 777
chmod 777 IWOVtst
and procede the next step's,Hope this resolves the problem.

I just had this same exact problem. Chmod'ing the IWOVtst directory to 777 solved it - thanks!
