Collect does not start: permission problem

0

I have just installed Collect on Ubuntu 16.04 (all latest updates installed) following the instructions provided, but it does not start due to some permissions issue.

These are the folders created by the installer:

$-> ls -l

Dear user,
It seems like the logs folder is owned by the "root" user... have you run Collect the first time with administrative rights?
You don't need to install Collect or run it with administrative rights, so please try to reinstall it and run it without them.
Let us know, many thanks.

I have deleted the ~/OpenForis folder (rm -fr OpenForis), and reinstalled according to your instructions (Run the .run file as a super user and follow the instructions on the screen. Collect will be installed by default into ~/OpenForis/Collect.)

These are the folders created by the installer. As you can see the logs folder is already there.

Dear user,
You DON'T HAVE to run the installer as a super user.
Please install it again as a normal user.
The folders created by the installer should be owned only by your user.
Many thanks,

Then the instructions at http://www.openforis.org/tools/collect/tutorials/installation.html are wrong.

Linux systems

Download the installer: Collect installer for Linux systems
Run the .run file as a super user and follow the instructions on the screen. Collect will be installed by default into ~/OpenForis/Collect.

(12 Mar '19, 17:38) thistle thistle's gravatar image

You are absolutely right, we will update the instructions accordingly.
