Default install.site won't run

Hi all,

I'm trying to create a custom 5.2 cd for work and I've got a problem with my install.site and site52.tgz. When I run the obsd installer I can see my site52.tgz and if I select it the files are being extracted to /mnt/site52/. but nothing happens after the files have been extracted.
Before creating the .tgz I ran chmod u+x on install.site.

My install.site just installs a couple of programs and these are included in the site52.tgz.
Can anyone help me?

What is the ownership of the install.site script & site52.tgz files?

Two comments:
  • Personally, I would make the permissions wide open (777), until you have resolved the problem. At that point, you can make the permissions more restrictive.
  • As I recall, the install.site script is executed in /. I assume this is where your tarfile deposits it.

Ok, i'll try changing the permissions. The install.site is extracted to /mnt/site52.

I use these permissions, owner and group:
Code:
-rwxrw----  1 root  wheel   251 Jan 14 14:31 install.site
-rwxrw----  1 root  wheel  7925 Jan 14 14:31 postinstall_alix
My install.site actually is a wrapper script: that use tee(1) to show the output to console, as well as log to a file.

Code:
# cat install.site                                                         
#!/bin/sh
# install.site for alix

INSTALL_LOG=./var/log/post_install.report
install -m 660 /dev/null ${INSTALL_LOG}

. ./postinstall_alix 2>&1 | tee ${INSTALL_LOG}
cat <<END

$0 : done
------------------------------------------------------------
END
I use Makefiles to generate and tar up the siteXX.tgz and siteXX-host..tgz files
Code:
sitexx ${SITEXX} :
.if exists(${SITEDIR}/install.site)
        install -p -o root -g wheel -m 760 ${SITEDIR}/install.site FILES 
.else
        @printf "\nWARNING: No  ${SITEDIR}/install.site !!!\n\n"
.endif
.if exists(${SITEDIR}/postinstall_${BOX})
        install -p -o root -g wheel -m 760 ${SITEDIR}/postinstall_${BOX} FILES
.else
        @printf "\nWARNING: No  ${SITEDIR}/postinstall_${BOX} !!\n\n" ;
.endif
        tar cvzf ${SITEXX} ${TARXX}
As you can see I use install(1) to adjust owner, group and permissions before creating the tgz files.

The contents of the site52.tgz so you can see the correct path;
Code:
# tar tvzf site52.tgz                              
drwx------  2 root     wheel            0 Feb 20  2011 ./root
-rw-r-----  1 root     wheel         1126 Jan 27  2010 ./root/format_fstab
-rw-r-----  1 root     wheel          764 Jan 31  2010 ./root/_serialconsole
-rw-r-----  1 root     wheel          231 Feb 20  2011 ./root/_boot-bsd.rd
-rw-r-----  1 root     wheel         1590 Mar  8  2010 ./root/PKGenv
-rw-r-----  1 root     wheel          244 Feb 20  2011 ./root/_boot-bsd.rd-serialconsole
drwxr-xr-x  2 root     wheel            0 Feb 14  2011 ./etc
-rw-------  1 root     wheel         1758 Feb 24  2010 ./etc/pf.conf
-rwxrw----  1 root     wheel          251 Jan 14 14:31 ./install.site
-rwxrw----  1 root     wheel         7925 Jan 14 14:31 ./postinstall_alix

Per Section 4.14 of the FAQ:
Code:
As the last step in the install/upgrade process, the scripts look in the 
root directory of the newly installed/upgraded system for install.site or 
upgrade.site...
