[Isis-users] MX problem in Linux

[De Smet Egbert]

Solomon,

indeed mx has nothing to do with Apache, the web-interface (which is what ABCD is in fact) uses mostly wxis.exe (the www-version of mx). So if no records are shown or mx is not running, it looks like indeed the proper access rights have not been set. In order to do this correctly you have to start from the highest level, e.g. setting +x (executable) for a directory which doesn't have this rights, won't  change it.
The easiest way is, from the parent directory of ABCD :
sudo chmod -R 775 ABCD
sudo chmod -R 777 ABCD/bases.

But I suppose you already tried that ? Please check then again carefully.

Hello,

It probably means that you don't have the right to run files. If you are the administrator, please check and change.

I have ABCD installation of ABCD in Ubuntu 12.04 which started giving the following problem in running after doing dist-upgrade:
1. the mx command does not run, the error message is "No such file or directory" even when I am in the directory in mx is in.
2. The apache (probably due to mx not running) cannot display any records.

could someone help?
