WebObjects 5: Deployment License Key Is Not Recognized By Installation Script

The installer script does not recognize a valid license key under Solaris, Linux or other UNIX-style platform.

Solution

Modify how the operating system mounts the CD-ROM, so that the file and directory names aren't translated. Instructions for modifying the operating system are listed below. If your Operating System is not listed below, consult your operating system's documentation for more information.

Solaris (2.8)

1. If the WebObjects 5 CD is in the CD-ROM drive, eject it.

2. Log in as root.

3. As root, edit /etc/rmount.conf and look for the heading # Mount

4. Add the option "nomaplcase" to the mount options:

# Mount
mount * hsfs udfs ufs -o nosuid,nomaplcase

5. Save the file

6. Reinsert the WebObjects 5 CD.

7. The installation should proceed normally.

Linux (RedHat >6.2)

1. If the WebObjects 5 CD is currently mounted, unmount it.

2. Log in as root.

3. As root, manually mount the CD adding "map=off" to the command:

# mount -t iso9660 -o ro,nosuid,map=off /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom

Note: Your options, devices, and mount points may be different according to your hardware configuration.

4. The installation should proceed normally.
