On some Linux distros I am encountering a problem of installing the jedit 5.1 jar file where I already have jedit 5.0 installed. I am seeing a message on the console saying: "Exception while trying to connect to existing server: java.net.ConnectException: Connection refused Don't worry too much !" and I get a messagebox saying "The installer could not create the destination directory. Maybe you do not have write permission." but of course I have write permisison. What do I do to get around this problem ? |

I solved this problem, upon the advice of someone on the OpenSuse Linux forum where I also reported it, by unchecking the checkbox to install the API documentation for plugins and the jedit API. Once I did that the installation proceeded without any problems. Would the packagers of the jedit installation program please look at the installation. My guess is that the documentation for plugins and jedit API for Linux, at least for 5.1, was changed to some Linux system directory where a normal user does not have priveleges to write files. I do realize that on some Linux distros I run, I was able to install without unchecking this option, so evidently I did have priveleges to write to the Linux system directory on those distros. Any further enlightenment on this issue would be welcome. |

Something I've done for a few years now is to install java apps in my ~/apps directory. Then there aren't any permission issues. There are other benefits also, like it is easy to install different versions of the same app without having to uninstall and you don't have to rely on someone to create a deployment package for your flavor of Linux.

Ed, The point is to choose a different install path. If defaults point to a path where you don't have permission you need to fix it, not the installer. /djb On 13 Oct 2013 17:29, "Edward Diener" <eld...@tr...> wrote: > On 10/13/2013 7:31 PM, Dale Anson wrote: > > Something I've done for a few years now is to install java apps in my > > ~/apps directory.

I certainly did have permission in all the install paths as they were all under my home directory. But evidently the installer was trying to put the jedit help documentation for plugins and for the jedit api in some place outside my home directory, most probably in some system directory where it did not have permission to install files. When I told it not to install those parts of the jedit help, the install was successful. Furthermore the rest of the jedit help is where it should be, in the same directory as where the installer put jedit 5.1. > > /djb > > On 13 Oct 2013 17:29, "Edward Diener" <eld...@tr... > <mailto:eld...@tr...>> wrote: > > On 10/13/2013 7:31 PM, Dale Anson wrote: > > Something I've done for a few years now is to install java apps in my > > ~/apps directory.

Oh, okay, I thought you were using the installer from OpenSuse. Would you open a tracker ticket? This looks like a bug in the installer and not a permissions issue.
