Hi All, I followed the tutorial “Perfect Ubuntu Server 9.04 ISPConfig3” and have set up my server to be an ISP and can access my website from the outside world. I have installed Joomla and in folders under Joomla Moodle, JFusion and Lime Survey. Everything is working perfect. The last part of my plan is causing me some grief. I want to install the Jasper Soft BI Suite. I have downloaded “jasperserver-3.5.0-linux-installer.bin” and it is sitting on my desktop. I have followed the jasper Server install pdf and successfully installed Apache Tomcat and Java. I have studied forums, websites and the great “How to install ANYTHING in Ubuntu”, but when I follow the instructions to install a .bin file the installation fails. I open the terminal and here's what I enter: cd Desktop ls sudo chmod +x jasperserver-3.5.0-linux-installer.bin ./jasperserver-3.5.0-linux-installer.bin Here is the result. myuser@myserver:~$ cd Desktop myuser@myserver:~/Desktop$ ls administration-console jasperserver-3.5.0-bin.zip jasperserver-3.5.0-linux-installer.bin BI Software How to install ANYTHING in Ubuntu.pdf myuser@myserver:~/Desktop$ sudo chmod +x jasperserver-3.5.0-linux-installer.bin myuser@myserver:~/Desktop$ ./jasperserver-3.5.0-linux-installer.bin bash: ./jasperserver-3.5.0-linux-installer.bin: No such file or directory myuser@myserver:~/Desktop$ I have tried: chmod 755 sudo ./ sudo su (then enter password) Why is it telling me: No such file or directory” when the 'ls' command clearly shows the .bin sitting on my desktop? Is there a step I am missing? According to the tutorials and forums the above command should launch the .bin into action the same way double clicking an .exe does. But for me it does not. How do I get this thing to install. I am old-school .exe and this .bin process is causing me grief. I am familiar with .bin as a mountable image file, but I cannot burn an image with the jasperserver-3.5.0-linux-installer.bin One thing I thought of could be this part of the “Perfect Server” tutorial. 9 Change The Default Shell /bin/sh is a symlink to /bin/dash, however we need /bin/bash, not /bin/dash. Therefore we do this: dpkg-reconfigure dash Install dash as /bin/sh? <-- No If you don't do this, the ISPConfig installation will fail. Can someone please point me in the right direction. I have tried to help myself by reading all the forums I can find, following the instructions, but this .bin has got me beat. I have tried all the install scripts I can find, and also different .bin files - i always get the same result. Maybe there is something within Ubuntu itself that is blocking the installation of a .bin. Please help. Any and all assistance is greatly appreciated. Regards -Tripytaka

On the JasperForge forum there is also another person having problems with the Jasper .bin installer, so i think it might be crook. Regards -Tripytaka
As administrator, run Code: chmod 755 ~/Desktop/jasperserver-3.5.0-linux-installer.bin Then try again.
Thanks for your assistance Falko.

I had the same problem. Running strace showed that it was a missing library. A little bit of research told me that jasperserver needs a 32 bit version of one of the libraries. I installed ia32-libs and it worked for me. I'm using ubuntu server 9.04 64 bit.
