Grouper Users - Open Discussion List

[Shannon Roddy <>]

Thanks, Chris.  Unfortunately though, it still fails.  Do the files need
to be in a special directory or something?  I.e. is there a hardcoded
path for the locally downloaded files?  They are in the same working
directory as I run the installer from at present.

#cat grouper.installer.properties

# this should be before the version number
#download.server.url = http://localhost:8090/grouper-ws/temp
download.server.url = http://software.internet2.edu/grouper

# default version to install
grouper.version = 2.2.1

# if should use local files only for development
grouperInstaller.useLocalFilesOnlyForDevelopment = t

# java -cp .:grouperInstaller.jar
edu.internet2.middleware.grouperInstaller.GrouperInstaller
Do you want to 'install' a new installation of grouper, 'upgrade' an
existing installation,
  'patch' an existing installation, or 'createPatch' for Grouper developers
  (enter: 'install', 'upgrade', 'patch', 'createPatch' or blank for the
default) [install]:
Enter in the Grouper install directory (note: better if no spaces or
special chars) [/usr/local/src/grouper]: /opt/local
Enter the default IP address for checking ports (just hit enter to
accept the default unless on a machine with no network, might want to
change to 127.0.0.1): [0.0.0.0]:
