Hello,

I am trying to install Epilog on Linux and the process won't start. I try and start it manually but it doesn't do anything. Please see below:

dilligaf2@ubuntu:~/Desktop/epilog-1.5$ sudo sh ./install.sh

./install.sh: 315: /etc/init.d/epilogd: Permission denied
Epilog not running. Please check installation parameters.

dilligaf2@ubuntu:~/Desktop/epilog-1.5$ find /etc/init.d/epilogd
/etc/init.d/epilogd

dilligaf2@ubuntu:~/Desktop/epilog-1.5$ sudo /etc/init.d/epilogd start
sudo: /etc/init.d/epilogd: command not found

Thank You

Can you please run the following commands, and paste the output?
ls -l /etc/init.d/epilogd
head /etc/init.d/epilogd

Regards,

Leigh.

As root can you please run:
chmod 755 /etc/init.d/epilogd

then:
/etc/init.d/epilogd start

And post the results?

Regards,

Leigh.

@ubuntu:/etc/init.d$ sudo /etc/init.d/epilogd start
Epilog starting.

I was able to successfully connect to Snare in the browser as well.

Any idea why I was getting the permission issue upon installation?

Thanks for the help

[Dilligaf]

Nevermind, I guess I have to do chmod 755 on all the files before running the install scripts.

Not sure yet; we'll have a poke at the installation scripts, and see if we can find the source of the problem.

Thank you for helping us through the diagnosis. :)

Regards,

Leigh.
