I'm not that much into Solaris package management but you could try if you could relocate the installation base to a directory on which your user account has write permissions (e.g. beneath your $HOME) So you could try the -R switch (see man pkgadd) Prior to installation you could check where the package bundlers' intended install target is by e.g. issueing /usr/sbin/pkgchk -v -d /path/to/pkg.depot However, many packages require post install scripts to be run with root permissions (e.g. to set links, permissions, or touch files etc.) Most package managers should allow for deliberately skipping the execution of such scripts. But as I said, I know too little about the Solaris package manager's options. You should consult the manpages of pkgadd, pkgchk, pkginfo However, because of all this if there is no way for you to obtain root privileges I would recommend you build an httpd from the Apache sources. > -----Original Message----- > From: Kaushal Shriyan [mailto:kaushalshriyan@xxxxxxxxx] > Sent: Wednesday, March 08, 2006 7:24 AM > To: users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > Subject: [users@httpd] pkgadd > > > Hi All > > I have a situation is that i dont have root access on this solaris box > I have a precompiled apache 1.3.33 package. > > I am stuck with the below error > > [rabirami@tpod83]home/qrq/suds_20_dir# pkgadd -R > /home/qrq/suds_20_dir/apache apache-1.3.33-SunOS5.8-sparc-CSW.pkg > pkgadd: ERROR: You must be "root" for pkgadd to execute properly. > > How to install this package (apache-1.3.33-SunOS5.8-sparc-CSW.pkg > )without having root access. > > Thanks in Advance > > Regards > > Kaushal > > ----------------------------------------------------------------- ---- > The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP > Server Project. > See <URL:http://httpd.apache.org/userslist.html> for more info. > To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscribe@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > " from the digest: users-digest-unsubscribe@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > For additional commands, e-mail: users-help@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
