[LON-CAPA-admin] Install error

[Stuart Raeburn]

Hi,

> install: destination owner 500 doesn't exist

Was the install.pl script run successfully (including creation of the  
www user) before running ./UPDATE?

Can you run install.pl again to check whether the www user is found.

(You will find install.pl in the installation directory extracted  
which you will extract from install.tar, available from  
http://install.loncapa.org/linux/install.tar)

In a case of a failed build, you may need to do:

cd loncom/build

from the directory where UPDATE is located, and then run

make clean

before doing

cd ../../

and running ./UPDATE again.

What is the Linux distro/version here?
