2.1.1.3 install error - File name too long
Posted: Oct 26, 2009 04:59:21 PM

I'm installing on RHEL 5.2 and getting an error. I downloaded the Server and IBM SDK 6 SR5 for Linux/Intel. I installed the IBM SDK using defaults.

When I run the installer, I use the LAX_VM option to specify my Java location. It fails with a lot of output and an error that doesn't mean anything to me.

I would appreciate any ideas or assistance.

./wasce_setup-2.1.1.3-unix.bin LAX_VM /opt/ibm/java-i386-60/bin/ -console

Summary: I got my install to work by adding the IBM SDK to the Linux PATH environment variable, rather than try to specify it via the LAX_VM argument. If this should have worked, then someone please reply so I can file a bug. If not, then the documentation should be updated to remove the LAX_VM argument.

Hi,

There are two problems in your command.

1) You need to specify the java executable file with LAX_VM. See the example in the document, it looks like this:

./wasce_setup-2.1.1.3-unix.bin LAX_VM /opt/ibm/java-i386-60/bin/+java+

2) To specify a installation mode, you have to use "-i" option.

So, your command line should be

./wasce_setup-2.1.1.3-unix.bin LAX_VM /opt/ibm/java-i386-60/bin/java -i console

Thanks for your answers!

I had figured out that the console argument had changed (I'd previously used -console on v2.0.x).

As for the LAX_VM, I read the doc on this page...
http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/wasce/V2.1.1/en/setup-troubleshooting.html
...which reads:
"In WASCE 2.1.1.1, use LAX_VM javaPath wizard option where javaPath is the fully qualified location of your Java executable file."

I just did a search and found another doc that still explains it in a way that I would interpret as meaning just the path, but it has examples further down that show it including the java executable.

That page is here: http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/wasce/V2.1.1/en/setup-reference.html

I'm not making excuses--rather I'm just explaining in case anyone reading this might think that the doc could be re-worded to make it more clear.

David, thanks very much for pointing this out.

I think we can improve the document as followed to avoid confusion:

use javaExecutable instead of javaPath as the argument;
revise the description by using fully qualified file name

So the document would be look like:

LAX_VM javaExecutable
       forces the launcher to use a particular JVM on the target machine, where javaExecutable is the fully qualified file name of your java executable 
file(that is, java or java.exe).This one should be the first option argument being passed in when using with other launcherOptions.

Any comments?
And thanks again.

I think that, at least for myself, your new wording would have been more clear. Especially just the change of the argument name.

Thanks for trying to improve this.
