Hello, I'am trying to make a pkg file. In the package.ins I want to create a new directory, I'am using the following line : MKDIR: "/etc/mypkg_conf"; but I'm told: Cannot create direktory: '/etc/mypkg_conf' Did I miss someting, I'am using RequiredUser=admispconfig Am I allowed to create directories outside of {app}?
I guess the user admispconfig has not the permission to create directories in /etc. You can test it like this: 1) Login to your server as root user on the shell. 2) switch to the user admispconfig with the command: su admispconfig 3) execute: mkdir /etc/mypkg_conf
Yes I did so, and I get permission denied. So is there a solution to create this directory within a pkg file. Because I have read that even if I use the root user in a pkg file, it will automaticly use adminispconfig instead. Thank's
Hi, the .pkg tool runs only as the admispconfig user, so it will not be possible to create this directory with the .pkg installer. We might enhance the installation system in later versions to run with root priveliges, but this will cause security risks the we have to check carefully.
Sure, I understand your position. So instead of making a pkg file, i will make a little howto. Regards
