Hi

This error is due to O/s level permissions for the logged in user (sidadm?).

The logged in user is not able to change the group for the filesystem.

Check to see if you have admin / root level access for the filesystem from the

O/s (using #chgrp @ command level)

Continue after fixing this, revert for queries

Hope this helps

Hi

Well, it is not advised to do it manually, the logged in user (sidadm)

should have the permissions, the reason being it is required at several points of time and with several folders..

However, for learning purpose, here is the syntax to be given in command line-

chgrp -R groupname <directoryName> (for all subdirectory - recursive)

I gave this jsut to cross verify, please assign the access rights (add to admin group) and then continue installation,

Revert for queries,

Cheers

Dear Mr.Senthil
