ant fresh_install fails

[Fru Emmanuel]

Hello, 

I am following the steps to installing dspace but I run into an issue when I run ant fresh_install

Here's the output I get

Please help

Thanks

On our servers, Tomcat runs as the "tomcat" user, so all our source files are owned by that user and group, as is the DSpace target group.  It's been a while since I did a fresh install, but I probably did the initial setup of our target directory something like this:

     sudo mkdir /dspace

     sudo chown tomcat:tomcat /dspace

     sudo chmod 2775 /dspace

Then I would have run the "ant fresh_install" as the "tomcat" user.

Your setup make be slightly different of course, but it looks to me like whatever user you are running "ant" as does not have permissions to actually write to your "/dspace" directory.  I'd start with looking at permissions.

"Directory /dspace/bin creation was not successful for an unknown
reason"

I would check the ownership and permissions of /dspace, relative to
the user account which is running 'ant', to see if it is a permissions
issue. Or it's just possible that the volume on which /dspace resides
is entirely full. Just check all of the usual reasons why a file
cannot be created.
