Troubleshooting an Installation process

In case of problems during installation in a Linux system, follow the steps given below to produce the logs files:

  1. Create a text with the same name as that of the installer and with extension as ".sp". i.e, For <fileName>.bin, create a text file named <fileName>.sp. For example, if the file name is ManageEngine_ApplicationsManager.bin, create a text file named ManageEngine_ApplicationsManager.sp
  2. Open the ".sp" text file in an editor, add is.debug=1 as the content.
  3. Save the ".sp" text file in the same directory where the binary file resides.
  4. Change to the directory where the binary file is present by executing cd command
  5. Invoke the installer as ./<fileName>.bin -is:javaconsole -is:log log.txt
  6. The above command will create the log file named log.txt. Mail the log file to appmanager-support@manageengine.com.
Note:
If the execution of the installation command throws an error such as "there may not be enough temporary space available in the temp folder", then execute the file with the argument as
For Windows: <fileName>.exe -is:tempdir $DIRNAME
For Linux: ./<fileName>.bin -is:tempdir $DIRNAME
where $DIRNAME is the absolute path of any existing directory.
