Problem installing Palo Suite 3.2 on linux

I downloaded Palo_Suite_3_2_OS_4166_5160.tar and attempted to install. During the installation, I received several errors:

Palo Suite is now configured! The Palo OLAP Server is accessible via Port 7777. Start Palo Suite by running the startserver.sh script in the installation directory (/opt/jedox/ps)
To start the SSL version of the server please run the startserver_ssl.sh script!


It seems the tar file is corrupt, or contains a corrupt jedox_ps.tar.gz file. If I try to manually untar this file, I get:

Source code

$ tar xvzf ../jedox_ps.tar.gz
(...)
core-Linux-i386/lib/libodbcpp.so

core-Linux-i386/lib/libicudata.so.42.1
tar: Skipping to next header
tar: Exiting with failure status due to previous errors


And if I even just try to gunzip it, I get:

Source code

5

$ gunzip ../jedox_ps.tar.gz 

gzip: ../jedox_ps.tar.gz: invalid compressed data--crc error

gzip: ../jedox_ps.tar.gz: invalid compressed data--length error


Has anyone else had this trouble?

Also, may I suggest that the download page should have an md5/sha1 hash listed for each file so that I can confirm whether the file corruption happened during download or if the file itself is broken as hosted? The file that I downloaded is 361451520 bytes long with an md5sum of 89c548026df1a90035f590ea29d536cb, but since I have nothing to compare that to I don't know if that's correct or not.

Hallo scorbett,

several days ago i install the same version on linux without any problems!
After you are asked to create the directory /opt/jedox/ps the failure appears. Maybe this directory isn´t created. Search for this directory, if there is a directory delete it and remove every other directory, which are included by palo. After that, download the lastest Palo_Linux version and install it. For some information you should also look to the install manuals, which you can download on the Jedox homepage.

I downloaded the file two more times on two different machines, and here is what I see:

Source code

 
1
2
3
4

$ md5sum *4166*
89c548026df1a90035f590ea29d536cb  Palo_Suite_3_2_OS_4166_5160.tar
03e1edbe4d57fef74e9a2a97331e26ae  Palo_Suite_3_2_OS_4166_5160(1).tar
276ac6f13a310ee29f42808e0c68b0e6  Palo_Suite_3_2_OS_4166_5160(2).tar


According to the download site, this file hasn't been modified since 31.07.2011, yet every time I download it, it has slightly different contents. I'm forced to conclude that the file is getting corrupted during the download, but again, because there is no official md5sum listed, I have no way of knowing when my local copy matches what is actually being hosted on the download site. Also, every time I extract the tar file and try to gunzip the jedox_ps.tar.gz file within, I get the same error:

Source code

 
1
2
3
4
5

$ gunzip jedox_ps.tar.gz 

gzip: jedox_ps.tar.gz: invalid compressed data--crc error

gzip: jedox_ps.tar.gz: invalid compressed data--length error


I don't know what else to do at this point, because there is no alternate download method like ftp or sftp, only http, and there are no download mirrors that I'm aware of so that I could download it from a server closer to where I am. Maybe it's because the file has to come all the way from Germany? I don't know. This is frustrating.

Hi,

I don't know, if this is of any help to you: I can unrar the file without problems on my windows machine...

Maybe this directory isn´t created.
are you sure that you launched the installation with root rights ? (unless you connect with root user, you have to precede the ./install.sh with 'sudo'

My installation of Palo_Suite_3_2_OS_4166_5160 downloaded on 5 Nov 2011 on Ubuntu 11.10 was generally OK.

Changed to root : sudo -i

Delete (or rename) any existing /opt/jedox/ps/ folder : rm -rf /opt/jedox/ps/

Install palo : sh /home/iskandar/Palo/Palo_Suite_3_2_OS_4166_5160/install.sh
(for the IP I used 127.0.0.1 )

Copied the MS TrueType fonts : cp /usr/share/fonts/truetype/msttcorefonts/*.* /opt/jedox/ps/core-Linux-i386/var/fonts/

I had a problem initially with insufficient memory for eaccelerator (errors can be detected in the logs in /opt/jedox/ps/ folder, so i had to increase : nano /proc/sys/kernel/shmmax

Start the server : sh /opt/jedox/ps/startserver.sh

Start a browser and navigate to http://127.0.0.1

You should get a login page in the browser, and you can login with username : admin and password : admin

This is just a short note to remind me

I downloaded the file a few more times, each time getting different file contents:

$ md5sum *5160*

276ac6f13a310ee29f42808e0c68b0e6  Palo_Suite_3_2_OS_4166_5160(1).tar
a65ee0e95645bcabb97ecf43e3aa744a  Palo_Suite_3_2_OS_4166_5160(2).tar

873cb0bf367dacaeb003746407b7ca3b  Palo_Suite_3_2_OS_4166_5160(5).tar
03e1edbe4d57fef74e9a2a97331e26ae  Palo_Suite_3_2_OS_4166_5160.tar


It seems that the sixth time was the charm. This file is the correct one (i.e. the only one that extracts and installs correctly, all the others are corrupt):

Source code

873cb0bf367dacaeb003746407b7ca3b  Palo_Suite_3_2_OS_4166_5160(5).tar


So, for anyone finding this post in the future, the correct md5sum of the file is 873cb0bf367dacaeb003746407b7ca3b. Of course, that will change the next time a new version is released. If anyone from jedox is reading this, please, please, please make the following changes to the download page:

  1. List the md5 or sha1 hash of each file so that I know whether or not it downloaded correctly.
  2. Offer the file via alternate download methods like ftp or torrent, as your http server seems to be unreliable (at least, from here in Canada).

Hi,
we'll add MD5 hashs for the downloads for the 3.3 release.

As for alternative download locations, bit more difficult, but we're looking into that as well.
