I'm running CentOS 4.3, and tried running the upgrade script on the wiki (not on a production box, just my home email server) : qmt-newmodel.sh and qmt-build-rpms.sh It seemed to go well through the creation of the sandbox. I got the "Sandbox has been built successfully!" message Then... "Starting to build the binary rpms ... (pizza anyone?)" message followed by: "If you want to view the compile messages, you can open another terminal and:
# tail -f /opt/qmt-sandbox/usr/src/qmt/log/build-recent.log"
That's when I got the error message: "chroot: cannot run command '/usr/src/qmt/qmt-build-rpms.sh': Permission denied
Build failed, Exiting
I checked the above log file, but it's empty as it didn't start compiling. Any suggestions?

I'm guessing that ownership of qmt-bulid-rpms.sh isn't root. Oops, my bad. I gather you obtained the scripts under a different user id.

# ls -l /opt/qmt-sandbox/usr/src/qmt/qmt-build-rpms.sh
to verify that it's not owned by root, then
# chown root:root /opt/qmt-sandbox/usr/src/qmt/qmt-build-rpms.sh
to change its ownership. You should probably change the ownership of the scripts too, in /usr/src/qmt/, so you won't have this problem again if you were to need to rebuild the sandbox.

Once you've done that, simply rerun the script. You'll need to answer all the questions again, but it won't re-download the sources, and you don't need to build the sandbox again. You should see compile messages in the log file shortly after compiles start.

Please report back on the rest of your experience.

P.S. I've changed permissions of both scripts to 755 so this shouldn't happen again, provided that wget preserves permission settings. If the scripts are downloaded from a web browser, I'm not sure what permissions they'd get. You can change permissions or ownership to fix this this problem if you've already downloaded the scripts. I think I'll update the wiki.

Thanks for catching this, Ron.
