ERROR
For ArcGIS Server SOC only installations, running applypatch for ArcGIS Server 9.2 Service Pack 3 returns the following error message:
"***ERROR:
The tar command being used to install the Service Pack files failed
The Service Pack (ArcGIS Server 9.2 Service Pack 3) installation has failed.
You will have to re-run applypatch to install ArcGIS Server 9.2 Service Pack 3."
The <ArcGIS Server Installation>/servercore/agsidsvr directory is owned by root but should be owned by the ArcGIS Server owner. Therefore, the ArcGIS Server owner did not have the required write access.
Note:
Do not change the ownership of any other subfolder in the servercore directory.
Note:
If the new SP3config.sh script is not used, the following error displays:
"This script must be run as the owner of the ArcGIS/ArcIMS/ArcReader/ArcEngine product.
Script is being run from an invalid location."
