Now I am trying to install the Web Administration for the Promise Raid Card Model:EX8350. The card works and the drives are mounted. It is the web administartion software that I cannot seem to install. Need help on this. Below is what I have tried, as well as the reply I got from the tech support at Promise. I am a newbie and I do not understand what to do. Please advice. Here is what I did. ----------------------------- start --------------------------------- # cat /proc/version Linux version 2.6.12-gentoo-r10 (root@videoserver) (gcc version 3.4.4 (Gentoo 3.4.4-r1, ssp-3.4.4-1.0, pie-8.7.8)) #31 Thu Sep 29 06:51:13 SGT 2005 Installed Promise Raid Driver - Source from Promise website. Self compiled. Installed Java for amd64 at /opt/java/jre1.5.0_04 (manually from java.com) Typed the following command to check java. # /opt/java/jre1.5.0_04/bin/java -version java version "1.5.0_04" Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.5.0_04-b05) Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 1.5.0_04-b05, mixed mode) Tried to install WebPam as root # ./WebPAM_Installer\(2.1.0.18\).bin -bash: ./WebPAM_Installer(2.1.0.18).bin: /bin/sh: bad interpreter: Permission denied # ls -l WebPAM_Installer\(2.1.0.18\).bin -rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 39109632 Jul 14 15:53 WebPAM_Installer(2.1.0.18).bin Then tried the following. # sh WebPAM_Installer\(2.1.0.18\).bin -is:tempdir /VideoDisk01 The directory /VideoDisk01/istemp29528279224208 does not contain enough space to extract temporary files. Please specify a temporary directory using the -is:tempdir option. Use the -is:help option for more information. But /VideoDisk01 has 800GB of space. Next I tried the following. # sh WebPAM_Installer\(2.1.0.18\).bin -is:tempdir /VideoDisk01 -is:nospacecheck This application requires a Java Run Time Environment (JRE) to run. Searching for one on your computer was not successful. Please use the command line switch -is:javahome to specify a valid JRE. For more help use the option -is:help. Ok, now I tried the following. # sh WebPAM_Installer\(2.1.0.18\).bin -is:tempdir /VideoDisk01 -is:nospacecheck -is:javahome /opt/java/jre1.5.0_04 This application requires a Java Run Time Environment (JRE) to run. Searching for one on your computer was not successful. Please use the command line switch -is:javahome to specify a valid JRE. For more help use the option -is:help. ------------------- end -------------------------------- Here is the reply I got from the tech support at Promise. --------------------------start ------------------------ Dear Customer, Since the WebPAM is a 32-bit appliance, it needs specific 32-bit related library or application when you are installing it. Therefore, In Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4.0 for x86_64, you should include the package "Compatibility Arch Support" which provides the necessary 32-bit components for WebPAM. If this application package does not install then it will cause WebPAM getting problems in X-Window or other window managements' graphical modes. But in silent mode installation does not have such problem. Please verify if the "Compatibility Arch Support" has been installed, which needs 600MB almost. Please follow the instructions to install "Compatibility Arch Support" package: <> Mouse click "Application" -> move to "System Settings" -> move to "Add/Remove Applications" -> opening the package management window -> scroll to the bottom of the window -> select the package "Compatibility Arch Support" if you do not install it before.
