Content Platform Engine, Version 5.2.1              

Granting directory permissions to the Configuration Manager user

You must grant the file and directory permissions required by config_mgr_user, which is the user who runs Configuration Manager.

Procedure

To grant permissions to the Configuration Manager user:

  1. If you are doing a new installation or upgrading on a new machine where Content Platform Engine or Content Engine has never been installed, log on as the cpe_install_user. If you are upgrading on the same machine where Content Platform Engine or Content Engine was previously installed, log on as the same user who originally installed that software. The installation program requires this to detect that it is an upgrade and to use the same installation path.
  2. Grant permissions to the config_mgr_user user for the executable file that you intend to use:
    Option Description
    AIX®, Solaris, HPUX, HPUXi, Linux, Linux for System z, Solaris - graphical user interface Grant execute permission to configmgr
    AIX, Solaris, HPUX, HPUXi, Linux, Linux for System z - command line Grant execute permission to configmgr_cl
    Windows - graphical user interface Grant read and execute permission to configmgr.exe
    Windows - command line Grant read and execute permission to configmgr_cl.exe
  3. Grant write permission to the directory where you want Configuration Manager to place the configuration XML files that it creates.

    If you do not specify the profile directory when you run Configuration Manager, grant write permission on the default directory ce_install_path/tools/configure and all its files and subdirectories.

  4. Log off the Content Platform Engine server and log on again as config_mgr_user.
