root@arena-zone [~]# cd trem
root@arena-zone [~/trem]# ./tremulous-1.1.0-installer.x86.run
-bash: ./tremulous-1.1.0-installer.x86.run: Permission denied

Ok, the installer is claiming your /bin/sh shell is not there, or incorrectly setup.  I seriously doubt this is the case, but check anyway.

What happens when you just type /bin/sh at the command line?  (You should get a bash prompt back, type 'exit', and you'll return to your previous shell.)

/bin/sh is usually a link to /bin/bash.  You might try 'ls -l /bin/sh' to confirm this.  The correct output will show something that looks like one of these lines:

lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root      4 2006-02-18 01:22 /bin/sh -> bash
-rwxr-xr-x  1 root bin   94560 2002-06-02 12:13 /bin/sh


Although, I suspect your system would have failed to boot correctly if this wasn't setup right (the boot system is based on shell scripts, which usually reference /bin/sh instead of /bin/bash for compatibility reasons, eg., FreeBSD uses /bin/ash as the main interpreter which is backwards compatible with /bin/sh, like bash, but not fully compatible with bash, so you'd write in the common subset, and use /bin/sh as the interpreter to be cross platform).

Ok, going in order.
I checked and it IS there.


When i type /bin/sh i get:

Code Select Expand


root@arena-zone [~]# /bin/sh
sh-2.05b# exit
exit



When i type ls -l /bin/sh i get:

Code Select Expand

root@arena-zone [~]# ls -l /bin/sh
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root            4 May 12 19:53 /bin/sh -> bash*
root@arena-zone [~]#


Ok... i rebooted my server..and its running CentOS

[Smokey]

so..any other fixes?

[testian]

try

Code Select Expand

./tremulous-1.1.0-installer.x86.run --keep

enter the newly created directory and look for setup.sh

execute it.

same error?

check file permissions

What filesystem is /root using?

Maybe some mount-flags disable the execution.

Post your /etc/fstab.


what architecture is your OS using?

[Smokey]

ahh fixed!!! i had to remount /tmp without noexec

[R1CH]

Why do people use noexec anyway? It's not like it improves anything and just causes compatibility issues like this.

grrr

If you're running a dedicated server use tremded instead of tremulous.

If you want this to be a client, either install SDL, or use the binary I made compiled statically to libSDL here:

[Smokey]

there is no tremded file for some reason...

Oh, I think that's one of the checkboxes you see in the installer.  It is not checked by default.
