Environment

DX Application Performance Managemnent SaaS

Cause

 

The problem is, by default the /root directory has no-exec permission for other users. So when we copied any binary that needs elevated access to execute it does not even though we change the directory permission.

Resolution

Do the following:

1. As per the documents, extract the apmia installer on to user home. Then follow the steps on the docs.

2. Grant the user permission by

   chmod o+x /root
   chmod -R o+rx /roo/<apmia install directory>

   3. after installed remove the exec permission from root. 

   chmod o-rx /root
