Linux and finstall

So I have a VM that I setup. Finstall ran fine (checked for the existence of all of the folders and proper files).

When I ran it on one VM, it ran fine and it ran the FAH configuration as part of the script.

When I ran it on this new VM, it ran fine, created all of the folders and files, but it didn't run the configuration. I see the fah6 file, but when I try to run it ( ./fah6 -configonly), Linux tells me there is no such file. I can damn well see it, so I know it is there.

I've already rebuilt the VM once in case I screwed anything up. I've checked all of the FAQs out there, but they all just say, configure it, and then install it as a service and let her rip. Well NONE of them tell me what to do if it can't find it (and fore sure it is there).
Any linux gurus out there that can help me?
 
Did you set the correct permissions before running Finstall ?

curl -O http://ra.venomar.ee/~ivo/finstall
chmod +x finstall
./finstall linux smp

That the only reason I know why you can see stuff in Linux but cannot run it.

Luck ........... :D
 
I did. finstall ran fine. It installed everything correctly (I checked this installation against my other installation that works).

I can SEE the files in file browser and I see them in the terminal screen. I've run chmod +x fah6 and that didn't help either.

 
Screw it. I used your tips on copying the VM. I was trying to get practice on setups, but damn if just copying the VM wasn't easier. I know you said so, but damn if I ain't hard headed LOL

Thanks goes to Tiger for your guide!!!!
