Status: Verified
FACT(s) (Environment):
UNIX
SYMPTOM(s):
Installing Progress but cannot start the install script proinst
/mnt/cdrom/proinst: /mnt/cdrom/_ovrly: Permission denied
Logged in as root userid
Media id is correct for Progress installation
Installing off original CD media not a copy
ldd <path>/_ovrly shows that the needed libraries are all present
CAUSE:
CD mounted with the command
mount /mnt/cdrom -o lower
with the following line in /etc/fstab
/dev/hda /mnt/cdrom iso9660 ro,noauto,user 0 0
"user" means that only the user who mounted the fs, will be able to unmount it.
As the installation of Progress needs to be performed as 'root' uid, root doesn't have the downgraded permissions of "user" in this case.
FIX:
Change the options in /etc/fstab as follows:
/dev/hda /mnt/cdrom iso9660 ro,noauto,owner 0 0
"owner" is like user, but then the user must be the owner of the file.
Alternatively, remove the 'user' option completely to initialise the default option of nouser, which implies 'root' which needs to be the uid running proinst for Progress.
