Hi

I am using webinator 4.0.1 and my home directory is about to change - all the files and data will be as before

will it work if I change the data directory to the new location and then rewalk - or do I need to reinstall ?

many thanks
Mike

Which platform are you running on? If the directory with the executables is going to change, then reinstalling is the simplest way, as the program does need to know where to run those from.

thanks for the response

its Unix

the directory structure from the root is unchanged - its just the Unix home directory is different

do I need to rewalk as well - or start a new walk ?

thanks .. mike

Did you install webinator in your home directory or in the system directory? If in system, a change to your home if fairly irrelevent. If you installed in home you'll probably need to reinstall and possibly rewalk.

Hi

I have a feeling this is a dumb question ...

however, I am trying to reinstall and cannot get
sh ./install to work
it fails with 5 lines of command not found followed by a syntax error on line 51

I cant remember having a problem before - only difference is that I am using putty to get telnet access via ssh

help !
thanks .. Mike

Make sure you're using the webinator install and not some other thing that's laying around called install (look in the file, there will be a lot of talk about texis and webinator in the beginning). Assuming it's the right install, add the following line after the first line, which reads "#!/bin/sh"
set -x
and include the output in your post.

Hi

exactly the same - but with set: unknown option

just to clarify - I used winzip on my PC to extract webinator.tar and install - and then FTP to my site

both went up as binary

Mike

you're supposed to extract and install on the server where it's going to run, not your pc.

Do you know which unix and which shell you have? It doesn't sound standard. You should be able to:

chmod +x install
./install

to invoke it.

Hi John

chmod worked
./install gave "bash: no such file" - the file is certainly there - maybe there is a restriction on executing files with no extension ?

"install" alone gave too few arguements

the setup is Linux, Red Hat 7, Zeus web server

I will be a support call in and see if anything has changed with shell - it all worked fine a year ago

thanks for the help - pl let me know if you think of anything else

Mike
