HELP XE_Unix installation stuck up......

Greetings All,
We are doing a new setup of JDEdwards XE isntallation with ES on Unix Box (HP9000).
During ES installation, we got stuck up while transferring files from DS to ES. The details are as follows:

1) During ES installation i.e copying oneworld files to ES, we run ./lodrun script whereby it establishes an FTP connection with DS(windows machine).

2) It then gets the jde.ini, setup and oneworld files from DS (D:/JDEdwardsOneWorld/B7333/HOSTS/HP9000/<ES name>) to the ES.

3) Connection is being established successfully from ES(unix) to DS(windows) but unable to get the files from DS.

4) Guide shows to give DS path without colon) i.e D/JDEdwards..../B7333/... , if OperatingSys on DS is Windows 2000.

But we tried all the possiblities of paths. Still the problem persist.

The ftpoutput.log on ES shows as follows:
-----------------------------------------------------------
d/JDEdwardsOneWorld/B7333/HOSTS/HP9000/pihp2: The system cannot find the path specified.
jde.ini: The system cannot find the file specified.
oneworld: The system cannot find the file specified.
setup: The system cannot find the file specified.
FTP: created new child process to run ftp.
FTP: file transfer finished.
FTP: `oneworld' was not found in: d/JDEdwardsOneWorld/B7333/HOSTS/HP9000/pihp2: failed ftp.
FTP: `JDE.INI' was not found in: d/JDEdwardsOneWorld/B7333/HOSTS/HP9000/pihp2: failed ftp.
FTP: `setup' was not found in: d/JDEdwardsOneWorld/B7333/HOSTS/HP9000/pihp2: failed ftp.
------------------------------------------------------------

We are installaing ES thru DS using telnet and the whole installation is being done using VNC Viewer(type of Remote Desk).

Any help is appreciable....

Hi,

Could be either the FTP user hasn't been created as a
local administrator (Windows account) on your Deployment,
or you haven't defined a "D" FTP Site on your Deployment.

If JDE is installed on D:, you should create an FTP
site (name = D) which points to D:\ and give read\write
access to the local account we're talking about (typically
JDE or PSFT).

FTP does not allow you to change drive letter AND directory in one CD
command so putting in drive:/path won't work. So when the process tries to
change to the directory to get your files it tries CD
D:\JDEdwardsOneWorld\B7333 and fails.

Easiest thing to do is to:

- create a DEAFULT FTP site on your Deployment server that points to
D:\JDEdwardsOneWorld with read/write authority (assuming you installed it
on D
- setup JDE as a LOCAL Admin on the DS
- use installation path B7333 in your installation

So when your process connects to the ftp site it will have
Drive:\JDEdwardsOneWorld as the ROOT and then the CD path command will
execute CD B7333 and change to that directory.

If you use \B7333 the change directory command may still fail - I don't
recall anymore. With your ROOT set correctly it may still work - I always
leave out the slash but then I'm used to iSeries installations.

Good Luck!

Regards,
Gerald.
