Problem:

This issue happens if you've already tried to install V13, but without finishing installation; last step is migration from /CALDERADATA/TMP to /opt/caldera/var/tmp but didin't finish.

 

Solution:

Check/Edit the following four files (requires root, so if using nano as editor, enter sudo nano for example)

 

1) Change the temp folder path from /CALDERADATA/TMP to /opt/caldera/var/tmp

a) /opt/caldera/lib/calserver.cfg

 

When using nano as editor in Terminal, the complete syntax is:

sudo nano /opt/caldera/lib/calserver.cfg

 

TMPDIR path

b) /opt/caldera/lib/.CAS.config

 

When using nano as editor in Terminal, the complete syntax is:

sudo nano /opt/caldera/lib/.CAS.config

 

TMPDIR path

c) /var/db/calinst/CalderaSofts

 

When using nano as editor in Terminal, the complete syntax is:

sudo nano /var/db/calinst/CalderaSofts

 

WORKDIR path Capture_d_e_cran_117.jpg

 

d) /Users/caldera/.cas/.CAS.config or Mac OS User if used to run Caldera /Users/MACUSER/.cas/.CAS.config

 

When using nano as editor in Terminal, the complete syntax is (caldera user):

sudo nano /Users/caldera/.cas/.CAS.config

 

TMPDIR path
