Closed as program error.
Error description
The installation of Worklight Server fails if the parent directory of the designated installation directory is not writable by the user who performs the installation.
Local fix
Install in /some/root-owned-dir/IBM/Worklight, if you make sure that /some/root-owned-dir/IBM and /some/root-owned-dir/IBM/Worklight are both owned by the non-root user.
Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: Users of Worklight 5.0.0.x who install as a * * non-root / non-administrator user that has * * no write permissions to the parent * * directory * * of the selected installation directory. * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: The installation of Worklight Server * * fails if the parent directory of the * * designated installation directory is * * not writable by the user who performs * * the installation. * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: * **************************************************************** The installation of Worklight server attempts to write a file 'install.log' in the parent directory, which fails if the user does not have write permissions in that directory.
Problem conclusion
The code was changed to create the install.log file in the installation directory, instead of its parent directory. The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in fixpack 5.0.5.0.
