Error accessing mgr75.dat

[mivsek]

I just installed VA 7.5.2 client and manager (standalone) on my openSuse 10.0, to /usr/local/VASmalltalk/7.5 and chmod 777 everything, then did a vasetup7.5 on my home, then ./abt to start but got immediately:

Error accessing /vabuild/build/752/output/cd_m/manager/manager/mgr75.dat: Access denied

Did I forgot to set up something somewhere?

Thanks in avdance

Hi Janko,

Do you have write permission to the .dat file? I ran into that today...

Hi Martin,

Do you have write permission to the .dat file? I ran into that today...

Yes, but look at the file path! It seems from your development environment, while mine is /home/mivsek/va/7.5.2/manager/mgr75.dat

Sounds strange, but why not simply change the path within abt.ini with a corrected path ...

Janko -

This all looks very odd...

The manager (mgr75.dat) should be installed into the /usr/local/VASmalltalk/7.5/manager directory (and the .ini file should point to that location).

But you indicate that the manager is in /home/mivek/va/7.5.2/manager. Did you copy it from its installed location to this location?

You also indicated that when you start VA Smalltalk, it is trying to access the manager as /vabuild/build/752/output/cd_m/manager/manager/mgr75.dat -- is that what is specified for DefaultName= in the [EmLibraryInterface] stanza of your abt.ini?

My fault, sorry to everyone. I mistakenly delete DefaultName line in abt.ini when changing ServerAddress to be standalone. Now image starts without a problem.

Thanks to everyone for help!
