Fresh install failed.. deleting /home/oracle/install, /home/oracle/Aveksa_System.cfg and /home/oracle/setDeployEnv.sh as part of cleanup.
Step failed! See /tmp/aveksa-install.log for more information.
Cause
1. You do not have ksh installed on the OS or the ksh shell (/bin/ksh or /usr/bin/ksh) is owned by a user other than root,or
2. It was removed from /bin or /usr/bin/ directory, or
3. The symbolic link was broken (ksh -> /bin/ksh93).
Resolution
- Login as root user and run the below commands to check if the ksh is installed.
rpm -qa | grep ksh
- If there is no output for this command, it indicates there is no ksh in the operating system.
- Download the supported ksh file for the OS (RedHat or SuSE) online and place the file in /tmp directory.
- Run the below command to install the ksh in the system.
rpm -ivh ksh-<version>.rpm
- Replace the <version> field with the version of the downloaded ksh script file.
- Once the ksh is installed, run the command in the first step to confirm ksh is present in the operating system.
- Uninstall RSA Identity Governance and Lifecycle and start a fresh installation with the steps mentioned in the Installation guide.
