Problem with Terminal Paths

I was trying to set up my terminal to use for my computer science class and when i used the instructions from my professor to be able to run the binaries I get this when i open terminal.
-bash: export: `/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.1/bin:/Library/Frameworks/Pyth on.framework/Versions/Current/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/ usr/X11/bin:.': not a valid identifier
-bash: export: `/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.1/bin:/Library/Frameworks/Pyth on.framework/Versions/Current/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/ usr/X11/bin:.': not a valid identifier
-bash: export: `/Users/ewhuff/bin::.': not a valid identifier
eric-huffs-macbook:~ ewhuff$

"Instructions from my professor" is not very helpful. What exactly did you do?
A question like this is better in the Unix forum, so repost your question there, with more info.

Problem with Terminal.app - unable to input '^' (Shift + 6)

Hello everyone,
I'm experiencing a strange problem with Terminal since this morning: I'm not able to input symbol '^' (Shift + 6) in any terminal application. Both Terminal.app and iTerm.app show the same problem. I'm able to input '^' in all other applications, as you can see, without any problem. Is it something related to key bindings? Anybody with similar problems?
Thanks,
Luca

What terminal emulation are you using? Which shell? I suggest you look into whatever terminal emulation you are using. Try googling for the type of terminal emulation you are using to see if that sheds any light on this issue.

Nautilus have problem with opening paths other than /home

Hi,
I have strange problem with nautilus. When I want to open some path ie. /media/*some mounted device* or /tmp usign gnome-menu "Places" I see hourglass cursor for a while and then nothing happens. Only home would open with "Places" however typing nautilus path in console opens the specified path instantly. If I open /home and then go to desired place and next try to again open this path with "Places" menu it works.
How could I fix this issue?

here are the permissions:

Unless your user is part of the "staff" group, you wouldn't be ale to open "wd".
drwxrwxrwt 14 root root 20K 02-20 03:03 tmp
Permissions are good here. You should be able to open everything. *But* if you want, issue a "chown root:users" on /tmp as root and see if that makes a difference. (I'm assuming "users" is your default group. It is for me on Arch.)
/home
drwxr-xr-x 49 karm root 20K 02-19 21:07 karm
You own home so that is as it should be.
> As I wrote before, only /home is opening corectly. It may be important that /media/wd is a mount point of an external usb hard drive. Does this ring some bells?

I don't know if you're having a Gnome specific issue or not but I would play around with changing ownership of the problematic folders to your user and see if it makes a difference.

Problem with image path names

We have a website created in CF4.5 and is hosted on our own server, call it www.oldsite.com A vendor created a new website which is hosted at another location and it uses the same name and the DNS info was updated so this new site has the same name and now runs when our oldsite name is used.
The vendor created a new name - "legacy.oldsite.com" and pointed to our old IP address at our office and serverfor the origonal site. We have lots of customer support info on the old site and wanted customers to be able to find these docnuments. When we type "legacy.oldsite.com" we land on an index.cfm page one folder above the orogional index.cfm rathee rthan the old index.cfm page. I have added a tag to this page to go to the correct index.cfm page. But the problem now is that all the images on the site and the documents are missing or will not download. When I look at the path of these images and documents, some images start with Http://www.oldsite.com/etc" some are "http://legacy.oldsite.com/path" (In this case some folder name is missing in the path so it does not work). So it looks like the path is coded somewhere? I see no other way that the www.oldsite.com path could be read any other way. So does anyone have may ideas where I mightbe able to fix this issue and get the old site to load images and documents?
Thanks

I never used the compressed folder option nor I'm sure I really understand what this feature is.I can browse "into" an archive, open it like a folder (is this the "compressed folder" feature?). I extracted the sub folder via drag and drop. The extraction was very slow, but it finished. When I tried to delete the folder, there was an error message stating that the content could not be saved to the trash because of long file names.
I repeated the test and initially created that awful long path which WinRAR was using (pdt-2.0.0GA_debugger-5.2.15.v20081217-all-in-one-win32) and extracted the archives content into that folder. This time extraction stopped with error message "0x80010135: path too long".
All if seen so far seems to indicate that there's a max_path problem with Explorer (only x64 version?) and system parts based on it (like wastebasket), not only a problem with WinRAR.

Problems with the path

Hi
1. I am using WSAD 5.0
2. I have created a web project it has the following directory struture
Java Source
MyFile.java // This file needs to access the xml in MyData
Web Content
// MyData contains few xml and js files
MyData // POSITION 1
META-INF
WEB-INF
classes
lib
MyData // POSITION 2
MyShow.jsp
3. In the buildpath the source is set to Java Source
**Question 1: Which is the correct POSITION of the Folder 'MyData'?
1. Assuming the folder is placed in POSTION 1
Java file
-- What would be correct relative path access the xml file in MyData
(i tried ../Web Content/MyData/abc.xml,
./Web Content/MyData/abc.xml and
/Web Content/MyData/abc.xml but NOTHING worked)
<I know the ./ is for current directory and ../ is for parent one and / is for the root >
Jsp file
I am ABLE to access the javascript files with path /MyData/abc.js
2. Assuming the folder is placed in POSTION 2
Java file
-- I am ABLE to acces the xml file with the path /MyData/abc.xml
Jsp file
-- The file is NOT ABLE to access the path /WEB-INF/MyData/abc.js (WSAD automatically also creates the same path)
**Question 2: Depending on the position of folder how would i access MyData from JSP or Java file
-- One more important thing is that in WSAD 5.1 the folder created is 'WebContent' instead of 'Web Content' <without space>, Does it has any thing to do with it?
Any help would be highly appreciated, any links which would give my insight on this will also be of immense help
regards
Tarun Dhillon

I am not sure i understand your problem, however you need to arrange your directories so that they are in a logical order from the context root for your application
for Websphere Developer questions, you should probably try an websphere newsgroup as well.

EP 7.0 Install Problem with JDK path

Im having a problem with installing EP 7.0 on Solaris. We had Solaris 8 and then performed a fresh install of Solaris 10. Solaris 10 had Java 1.5. When performing the EP install at the step to supply the JDK directory message stating 1.5.0 was not supported. I had to install JDK from 1.4. family. I stopped the install and UNIX group installed 1.4.2_13. I now receive message that directory /usr/bin is not a valid JDK directory:the java executable is missing. The UNIX team told me this is the valid directory path. I am not sure what the exact problem is. I stopped the install and provided the environment variable JAVA_HOME=/usr/bin and the same problem. Has anyone come across this problem maybe my version is not correct. Any ideas on what could be wrong are greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Martin

Hi Martin,
why are you pointing JAVA_HOME variable to /usr/bin.
JAVA_HOME must always point to the directory where JAVA installation resides.So for you it might be /j2sdk1.4.2_13 if the JAVA installation directory is j2sdk1.4.2_13.
If this does not solve ur problem.
Please let me know the exact step where u r facing with the problem.
Hope it helps
Cheers,
Santhosh

Problems with file paths in ApplescriptObjC

Hi
I am having a problem with trying to Open/Read/Write/Close text files in ApplescriptObjC. The following piece of script works in Applescript but when I try to incorporate in ASOC via Xcode I get the following error "Can’t make current application into type «class fsrf»" and I have no idea what that means!
I've tried using POSIX paths but still doesn't work. As usual, any help gratefully received.
I am using the Control Record to hold the last reference number used so when I add another row to a spreadsheet it will generate the next unique reference.
set filePath "Macintosh HD:Users:Ours:Documents:Cats Protection:Control Record.txt"
set fileReference to open for access (file filePath) with write permission
set lastNumber to read alias filePath -- read all data
set nextNumber to (text -1 thru -2) of lastNumber as integer -- extract last number
set nextNumber to (nextNumber + 1) -- increment number
set nextNumber to text (2 * -1) thru -1 of ("0" & nextNumber) -- add leading zero
write nextNumber to fileReference starting at 9 -- update next number
close access fileReference

«class fsrf» is a file system reference. Long story, but cocoa changed the preferred way to handle file references (in 10.6, I think) and sometimes applescript trips over the difference.
try changing the first three lines like so:
set filePath to "/Users/Ours/Documents/Cats Protection/Control Record.txt"
set fileReference to open for access filePath with write permission
set lastNumber to read fileReference -- read all data
Cocoa is generally happier with posix paths, open for access shouldn't need the file keyword, and reading from the file reference (rather than specifying the file again) is cleaner.

Problem with long path names?

I tried to unpack the PHP eclipse package to a folder named like the ZIP package (pdt-2.0.0GA_debugger-5.2.15.v20081217-all-in-one-win32). WinRAR stopped with an error message (something like "file name to long"). I was unable to delete the folder until I shortened the directory name. Extracting worked only with a short path name.
Did anybody experience something like this?

HP T410 All-In-One (H2W21AA) serious RDP problem with terminal server

Hi there! The scheme is this:
HP T410 All-In-One (H2W21AA)
firmware that was out-of-the-box got some graphical problems with RDP, so i updated the Smart Zero Core Image to the latest Z6A44019 Rev. 1 (11 dec 2013). Graphical problem gone, but new, much more unpleasant problem emerged.
This thin client is connected to Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1, all updates are up-to-date. Terminal Server.
the steps:
- i connect from my machine (W7SP1x64 with latest updates) via RDP (mstsc.exe or tsmmc.mmc - doesn't matter) to the terminal server
- i open up the remote desktop services manager, right click on the user that's connected from the T410
- i hit "remote control" button
- for a moment i see some bits of user's desktop, but in less than a second my RDP session drops with the following error:

the problem is not present for the rest on the terminal users (that are connected from a unix thin clients), i remote control their session without any issues.
Please help me. We are building a new office and planning it for using PoE on every workdesk with your T410 Thin Client. But the fact that i can't manage them remotely brings me a lot of grief.

Hello again! I am sad to tell that my solution was not fully effective - i have got the new problem now
when i remote control session, it connects and works for some time, but at some point (which can be even a second from connection) it disconnects, throws me back to my admin session, and on the client side of t410 the following message appears:

Problem with Terminal on launch

All right, I guess this best fits into UNIX discussions, though it's more of a problem with the terminal itself.
Recently, I wrote a relatively simple application with Xcode. I wanted to see the output of the app, and since I was too lazy to open up Xcode or browse around for the file and I knew that I only had to use the up arrow in terminal to launch it, that being the last command, I did so. Everything worked as expected. Until the next launch of terminal, that is.
When I next launched, Terminal seemed to have automatically entered that command. As a result, the app executed immediately without any input from me, and then Terminal displayed Process Completed. I relaunched. Same thing. I used shiftcmdn to enter a new command. I did only cd, hoping that it at least wouldn't bother to display the application's output (rather long) on next launch. So now, when I launch terminal, it immediately enters "cd; exit".
What I see is exactly as follows:
Last login: (Date) (time) on ttyp1
cd; exit (this is sporadic. It's sometimes here, and sometimes...not.)
Welcome to Darwin!
benls-computer-2:~ benl$ cd; exit
logout
[[Process completed]]
Again, this all happens immediately without any input from me.
I can't really do anything useful in terminal at present. I've tried opening new terminal windows, relaunching, logging out and in, rebooting, resetting, ctrl-c...the works, and I don't know what else to try.
Any suggestions?
Message was edited by: Benjamin Lehmann

This is common? How does it happen?
I don't recall exactly how it happens - something to so with how you launch the app, or save a window setting or something. What I do know is that if you search these (and other) boards you'll find a lot of people reporting the same thing - of course 'a lot' is a relative term, but it happens often enough that I knew the solution even though I've never been affected myself, either.

SQL*Loader problem with direct path load

Hi all,
Its on Oracle 9.2
I have a sqlldr control file which has couple of columns like,
my_column_1 ,
my_column_2 "decode(:my_column_1,'ONE','AAA','TWO','BBB', :my_column_1)"
The table I am loading to is in user X and I am running the load from
user Y. Everything works fine with conventional path load (not direct
path) as grants are made for the table to user Y.
When I load the data with same control file with direct path, I get an
error ,
01031 - insufficient privileges
Is this anything to do with the syntex I have used in the control file
or its a privilege issue. If its a privilege issue which privilege is
that ?
I did following tests,
1) Load is run with conventional path load, from user Y and the decode
statement is in control file - Load works
2) Load is run with direct path load, from user Y and decode statement
is in control file - Load fails with above mentioned error
3) Load is run with direct path load, from user Y and decode IS REMOVED
from the control file - Load works (!!!)
What can be the conclusion? Way out ?
Thanks and Regards

You need to grant
grant lock any table to userY;

Problem with Terminal.app after upgrade

Hi,
I just installed Tiger over Panther. Everything went and seems just fine, except:
When I try to run Terminal, I see:
You are not authorized to run this application.
The administrator has set your shell to an illegal value.
I am not sure I understand from the message what is the problem:
a) Not authorized should mean Unix user permissions, right?
(In Finder's info window, I see :
- you can read/write
- Owner: system
- Group: admin
- Access: r/w
Seems bad as I am supposed to rwx, but that I guess is just Finder-specific simplification:-).
From the other hand,
b) an "illegal value" (whatever it is - say /bin/mabooka) should be possible to just change - ?
How?
The Terminal is not giving me any options except "Quit".
The box is single-user, the admin is myself...
Please help if you saw something similar... Thanks!

Thanks Ali,
It was hard to find the solution in search list, but it was there.
The correct answer is:
================
Re: Terminal: Not authorized to run app... shell has an illegal value?!!
Posted: Jun 3, 2006 6:57 PM in response to: Eric Bigham
Helpful
Click on Terminal.app to select it, CMD+I, and check the ownership and permissions. It should show that you have R&W. If so, then drag ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Terminal.plist file to the desktop, log out and back in, and try launching it again.
================
Also it was entertaining to read and then use Netinfo Manager:
Using this utility, I've found that my shell was set to "bin/tc" (instead of /bin/tcsh, as I set it years ago on Panther).
Apparently:
1) there is a bug in installation (who else could change "tsch" to "tc"?!?);
2) there is a bug in the message ("You are not authorized..."): -- nothing to do with authorization.
In any case, the problem's been solved, many thanks.

I'm sure it has something to do with my directory structure, Were using a Tomcat server through Uni so i dont have access to change the context paths or anything like that. Any way to over come this problem would be so much appreciated! if your from Melbourne i'll buy u a beer ;o)
Thanks heaps.

if you start javac in your directory
public_html>WEB_INF>classes>com
the compiler cannot find the the classes Product and ShoppingItem.
Start the compiler in public_html>WEB_INF>classes:
javac com/*.javaThe path
public_html/WEB_INF/classes
is in your case the classpath. javac uses the current working directory as default classpath. The classpath contains "root points" of package directory trees.

File Attachment in a Email.... problem with file path

Hi experts
I am trying to implement something similar to any email program.
A user can send email to a user along with attachments.
I am encountering the following problems:
1) in IE, the file path is set correctly, but in mozilla only the file name is set. (how do i get the file path in mozilla??)
2) if i add the file as part of the body in the email, the destination user should only see only the file name and not the entire file path of the source computer.
any help would be appreciated
thanx
deepak

File on web forms is attached to the case. Go to the case in the admin and you can retrieve the file.
