Installing NFS Gateway for NetWare 6.5 SP2

Novell Cool Solutions: Question & Answer

Posted: 10 Dec 2004

Q:
I thought I'd be able to install the NFS Gateway for NetWare 6.5 (FCS version) regardless of the support pack version I have on the server. But I just tried to install it on an SP2 server, and I'm getting an error that says I need NetWare 6.5.3. What's up with that?



A:
Yes, we've heard of that happening when people have previously tried to put an "overlay" install of newer NFS Gateway materials on the server. The newer materials apparently required NetWare 6.5.3, so now Novell Install Services is now referencing the new nfsgy.jar file even though you're trying to do the older install.

Here's what you do. Manually delete the SYS:NI\UPDATE\LIB\NFSGY.JAR file, then attempt the FCS install again. Should work like a charm.
