Invalid Configuration Location

Use this procedure to debug an invalid configuration location error.

This error can occur if the user ID that is doing the installation does not match the user ID that installed Installation Manager. A window with Invalid Configuration Location is displayed containing text starting with, "Locking is not possible in the directory directory_path." This error is related to file permission bits for .fileTableLock files within the configuration directory structure.

To fix this problem, change to the configuration directory within the directory_path described in the error, and issue the following commands: 
chmod -R g+rwx . 
chgrp -R groupName config_directory .
The groupName value is the primary group of the user attempting the installation.
