Cannot get installtion file to even run.

[JackDeth]

I'm trying to install Scalix for the first time to a Fedora Core 4 machine and cannot get the installtion file to even execute. When running it from a terminal session I get the following:

: command not foundine 8:
: command not foundine 21:
: command not foundine 24:
: command not foundine 26:
'calix-installer: line 29: syntax error near unexpected token `do
'calix-installer: line 29: `for p in $*; do



Any ideas what I"m missing. Please note: I'm totally new to Linux and therefore a complete moron. I'm doing this as a volunteer project for a small church/school.

Can you provide a little more detail on the exactly how your trying to run the installer?

cd to the the folder where you have the installer

#./scalix-installer

on the shell prompt is all you should need

Hi,

Also run the following command and provide the output.

Code: Select all

echo $PATH


Cheers,

This sounds like you've transferred the file from a Windows machine to a Linux using FTP (or similar ) and not converted from DOS to Unix format.

If you run the command:

Code: Select all

head scalix-installer | cat -vet

, you will most likely see ^M characters.

Try running

Code: Select all

dos2unix scalix-installer

and then run the installer again.

Cheers

Yes. I originally downloaded the file on a Windows machine and then burned the files to a CD for installing on the Linux machine.

I will copy the files from the CD to a place on the Linux machine and will run what you said above and will get back to you.

Thanks for the advice!
