hi, i'm trying to install a palace server on my friends linux server. i created an account on there and gave myself shell access. i login to my account via putty and follow the directions. after i read the licence agreement and type agree (or accept, i'm not sure which on it is) it says to hit enter to install. i hit enter and this is what i get

Directory /usr/local/palace does not exist. Creating it...
mkdir: cannot create directory `/usr/local/palace': Permission denied
mkdir: cannot create directory `/usr/local/palace/palace': No such file or directory
/usr/local/palace is not a directory!


any clue on what i should do?

The directory you are trying to use doesn't have the right permissions, you should chmod that dir to 755 and perhaps even chown youraccount.group to make sure your the owner. It also depends on your account type if you can run any stuff from it.

hi

the directory pserver-4.5.1.i686-unknown-linux is set at 755

and where would i find myaccount.group?

The install script doesn't have write access to whatever directory you are using to install the Palace in:

If the account is in /home/yourname/palace/

you need to make sure the permissions are set so the script can unpack to that directory.

For account and group info you need to check with whoever runs your server or perhaps someone knows a command for it, I only know how to do this as server root not as user :)
