WinSCP App Server File Delete

[Pepp77]

Hi Guys

I have a patch from Avaya that I am in the process of trying to install for one-x.

One of the steps says that using WinSCP I need to navigate to /opt/avaya/oneXportal/8.1.x.x/apache-tomcat/webapps and delete 5 of the folders in this folder.

I am able to login using Administrator and my password, but when I try to delete the folders I get permission denied. I then tried to login as root (with the password I set in the admin panel) and this returns Access Denied before I even get to the folders.

Has anyone else ever had to login like this to the Linux App Server and been able to delete files/folders, if so anything obvious I might be missing?

Thanks

Pepp

You need to do this from the CLI or change the permissions on the folders.
Linux prevents deleting folders when they are not empty, keep that in mind!


BAZINGA!

I'm not insane, my mother had me tested!

Thanks tlp.

I have changed from WinSCP to putty and am able to do it with that. Within Putty just put in the IP address of the one-x server then

a. Defaults Username: ‘webcontrol’ – Password: ‘web’ (8.0) ‘Administrator’ – ‘Administrator’ (8.1)
b. Logon using ‘admin’ password: ‘Administrator’
c. Logon using ‘root’ password: (Password entered @ installation)
3. Change to the following directory:
a. cd cd /opt/Avaya/oneXportal/8.1.91_12/apache-tomcat/webapps
4. Delete the six folders:
a. rm -rf induna/
b. rm -rf inkaba/
c. rm -rf inyama/
d. rm -rf ipoffice/
e. rm -rf izwi/
f. rm -rf ldapdirservice/

This should look a little like-

All confirmed as working.
