OpenEMM Technical Support Forum

I have followed the instructions carefully thus far, but I am wondering if I may have made a mistake in unpacking the tarball and forgotten the 'p' in this command: tar xzvpf /tmp/OpenEMM-2013-bin.tar.gz.

What would be the consequences of this if I had omitted it? Should I completely remove the installation and start over, or can I correct this somehow? Is there any way to check to see if I may have done it correctly after all?

Thanks!

if you forget the -p option, some files do not have the full permissions they need and the backend of OpenEMM will not work. If you are interested which files are affected, you can have a look at the Ant build script in the source tarball to identify these files and the required permissions.

Thanks -- I've just re-unpacked it with the proper options. Presumably that would overwrite the files if any were incorrectly unpacked.
