syntax error: unterminated quoted string

[tomtomnz]

Hi team

I'm new to Alfresco and pretty fresh on Linux.  I'm trying to install 4.0.b on Ubuntu 10.04 LTS to build a business case.

I downloaded the installer from:

https://process.alfresco.com/ccdl/?file=release/community/build-3835/alfresco-community-4.0.b-instal...‍

Tried to run the file using:

sudo ./alfresco-community-4.0.b-installer-linux-x64.bin –mode text‍

and get the following error:

./alfresco-community-4.0.b-installer-linux-x64.bin: 1: Syntax error: Unterminated quoted string

Can someone help me out here?  Is this related to the Alfresco installer or my Ubuntu ignorance?

Thanks

Hi,

I haven't tried it, but looking at the documentation, it says that the command should be:

sudo ./alfresco-community-4.0.x-installer-linux-x64.bin —mode text‍

If the docs aren't wrong, you are missing a "-". Also make sure you have execution permissions (chmod +x). Hope it helps.


Cheers,
Jordi.

Hi Jordi

Thanks for the response.  I've tried using —mode text as well as –mode text.

Both methods are listed in the Documentation (How do I notify the admin's of this?)

–mode text described at

http://docs.alfresco.com/4.0/index.jsp?topic=%2Fcom.alfresco.enterprise.doc%2Fconcepts%2Fsimpleinsta...‍

—mode text described at

http://docs.alfresco.com/4.0/index.jsp?topic=%2Fcom.alfresco.enterprise.doc%2Fconcepts%2Fsimpleinsta...‍

Execute permissions are set.

Any other pointers?  Has anyone else successfully installed 4.0.b in text mode?

Thanks!

Bump - anybody installed 4.0.b in text mode?  Did it work OK or is this a bug in the installer?

Are you using a 32 bit or a 64 bit machine to install Alfresco 4.0b on?

Hi

Continuing on from this - tried again with the recent 4.0.c community release with the same result - unterminated quoted string.

Trying to install on fresh 64 bit Ubuntu server, VMWare version 8.
