leccy Posted April 7, 2005 Share Posted April 7, 2005 Help! I'm trying to do a fresh UNIX install but after reading and reading the instructions they did not make sense. Eventually figured there was a problem extracting the archive, I done a gunzip then tar xvf... this error occurs... <snip> x oscommerce-2.2ms2/catalog/admin/includes/languages/english/images/buttons/button_unlock.gif, 460 bytes, 1 tape blocks x oscommerce-2.2ms2/catalog/admin/includes/languages/english/images/buttons/button_update.gif, 461 bytes, 1 tape blocks tar: directory checksum error I did not notice this error at first so just assumed it had finished extracting the files. I also noticed someone had a similar problem in this thread... http://www.oscommerce.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=144254 When I cd through the directories this is all I have... # ls -l total 2 drwxr-xr-x 3 1000 impact 512 Apr 7 09:52 catalog # cd catalog # ls -l total 2 drwxr-xr-x 4 1000 impact 1024 Apr 7 09:52 admin # cd admin # ls backup.php includes products_expected.php banner_manager.php index.php reviews.php banner_statistics.php invoice.php server_info.php cache.php languages.php specials.php categories.php mail.php stats_customers.php configuration.php manufacturers.php stats_products_purchased.php countries.php modules.php stats_products_viewed.php currencies.php newsletters.php tax_classes.php customers.php orders.php tax_rates.php define_language.php orders_status.php whos_online.php file_manager.php packingslip.php zones.php geo_zones.php popup_image.php images products_attributes.php I tried a "tar xvfi <filename.tar> which ignores the checksum errors and I get the missing files (but not sure if it will still behave ok) but wondering why this isn't a common issue, or is it? :( Can anyone help? I'm not having problems extracting any other tar files, I'm using Solaris. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
♥Vger Posted April 7, 2005 Share Posted April 7, 2005 Did you download this from www.oscommerce.com or somewhere else? You should not have a problem with the checksum if downloaded from www.oscommerce.com, but be wary if you get a checksum error if downloaded from anywhere else.

leccy Posted April 7, 2005 Author Share Posted April 7, 2005 I tried downloading from the official site, tried the two locations where the file is hosted. Both the same error. I tried downloading the ms version and unzipped it and that is when I seen all the directories that I was missing. If I try a "tar tvf" to list the files in the archive I can see all the files, but problem occurs with the extraction. It's odd someone else had the same error. The only cause I can think of is it may not be fully compatible with Solaris 9. Maybe someone can confirm this # ls -l oscommerce-2.2ms2.tar.gz -rw------- 1 root grp 891581 Apr 7 13:37 oscommerce-2.2ms2.tar.gz # gunzip oscommerce-2.2ms2.tar.gz gunzip: oscommerce-2.2ms2.tar already exists; do you wish to overwrite (y or n)? y # ls -l oscommerce-2.2ms2.tar -rw------- 1 root grp 4177920 Apr 7 13:49 oscommerce-2.2ms2.tar # # tar xvf oscommerce-2.2ms2.tar <snip> x oscommerce-2.2ms2/catalog/admin/includes/languages/english/images/buttons/button_reset.gif, 438 bytes, 1 tape blocks x oscommerce-2.2ms2/catalog/admin/includes/languages/english/images/buttons/button_restore.gif, 450 bytes, 1 tape blocks x oscommerce-2.2ms2/catalog/admin/includes/languages/english/images/buttons/button_save.gif, 433 bytes, 1 tape blocks x oscommerce-2.2ms2/catalog/admin/includes/languages/english/images/buttons/button_search.gif, 448 bytes, 1 tape blocks x oscommerce-2.2ms2/catalog/admin/includes/languages/english/images/buttons/button_select.gif, 446 bytes, 1 tape blocks x oscommerce-2.2ms2/catalog/admin/includes/languages/english/images/buttons/button_send.gif, 441 bytes, 1 tape blocks x oscommerce-2.2ms2/catalog/admin/includes/languages/english/images/buttons/button_send_mail.gif, 468 bytes, 1 tape blocks x oscommerce-2.2ms2/catalog/admin/includes/languages/english/images/buttons/button_template_admin.psd, 22082 bytes, 44 tape blocks x oscommerce-2.2ms2/catalog/admin/includes/languages/english/images/buttons/button_unlock.gif, 460 bytes, 1 tape blocks x oscommerce-2.2ms2/catalog/admin/includes/languages/english/images/buttons/button_update.gif, 461 bytes, 1 tape blocks tar: directory checksum error # Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
♥Vger Posted April 7, 2005 Share Posted April 7, 2005 Well, Solaris is not exactly the most widely used system in the world today - so I am just making a guess that you are correct that it is a problem with the system. Vger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leccy Posted April 7, 2005 Author Share Posted April 7, 2005 Well, Solaris is not exactly the most widely used system in the world today - so I am just making a guess that you are correct that it is a problem with the system. Vger <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Thanks :D If it turns out to be an OS issue then the issue is with compatibility rather than the system. Just in case anyone else has the same problem. I can unpack anyother file ok, this error is quite rare though and will usually occur with a corrupt file. I wonder what would happen if someone zips their unpacked files up and sends the file to me (if I pm my email) Could anyone help, would really appreciate it Many thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
♥Vger Posted April 7, 2005 Share Posted April 7, 2005 The files which are zipped and the files which are tarballed are absolutely identical - only the method of extracting is different. As you have said that you have successfully unzipped the files you don't need anyone to send them to you - or did I misunderstand that?

♥toyicebear Posted April 7, 2005 Share Posted April 7, 2005 Try a new fresh download, unpack it on a local computer and then just upload/transfer the already extracted files to your server.

leccy Posted April 7, 2005 Author Share Posted April 7, 2005 aah.. that's a great help as I can unzip these files on the same machine. I had no idea they were identical. I know some ms code may differ from UNIX so I assumed that was why there were the two versions. I never even realised that the directories in the ms structure were in the unix format. :blush: I'll use that and hopefully this will solve all my install issues. Many thanks!

B) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> good idea too.. but at this moment my local system is also my server. :'( I will try that if the ms files fail but if they are identical then this should sort it. thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
