Errors installing Texis on Solaris 8

Post by mjacobson »

I get the following error when installing Texis. I am installing it as the webserver user and permissions are set correctly.

Unknown Version 3.01.979090454 of Jan 10, 2001 (sparc-sun-solaris2.5.1)

100 License monitor process child returned exit code 1
011 License monitor process failed to create license segment
000 Cannot get config settings
$urlroot was '' instead of 'cgi-bin/texis/installtest'.
$pathroot was '' instead of '/installtest'.
Document root dir '' does not exist.
$sourcepat was ''.

One or more variables were not set as expected by the URL
'http://localhost/cgi-bin/texis/installt ... .html?dump'
The web server may be incorrectly setting CGI variables.
....
Your web server appears to be 'Apache/1.3.22(Unix)'
...
*** Aborting installation due to above error ***

Yes we are running Apache 1.3.22(Unix) and I tested the CGI variables using a simple perl script that displays all system variables and everything appears to be correct.

It looks like texis is having trouble reading/writing it's license. Run ipcs to find the owner of the shared mem with a key like 0xdbaccee#. And to make sure you're not out of shared mems.

INSTALLDIR/texis/monitor.log might have more info about the error.

Thanks for the help. One of my co-workers had a test of AltaVista running on the box and it had taken up all of the available shared memory. Rebooted the machine and now Vortex works.

So, I guess we can add AltaVista to the list of software that "doesn't play well with others".
