Installing asset server on dreamhost.com

[ljarbo]

I’ve followed the instructions in the “Installing from source”, Real-time tools for 3D, AR, and VR development | Products
wget and all that works well. (Dreamhost does not give sudo permission and I’m not ssh terminal savvy).

When I run the ./install.sh, I get the following error message:

Could not create unitysrv user. Please create a user account called unitysrv and rerun this script

So I go to the dreamhost panel to create the user, but dreamhost panel complains that the user is already created and that I cannot create a user with that name. Although I do not have a user with the name “unitysrv” listed at all.

I see in the install.sh that there are refs to the user unitysrv, but I’m not sure what to do?

Hi Daniela!

A one-click install of the unity asset-server would be great!
(Maybe the European dev inspiration at Unite Nordic this month could serve as a motif?)

The id is (#1242765), I placed the installation outside the web-root in “assetserver”, (actually I’m not sure that is all correct either?)

There seems to have been created a user, “unitysrv”, that I cannot delete, and/or recreate?
The unity asset server needs to set an admin password when installing, and I assume this is the installation adminuser that fails in some way?

Thank you for an awesome response!

As a Dreamhost customer I really dig the response from the DH team.

Hello!

Due to the nature of the situation our Jedi Techs would need to fix it since I am not in that area of expertise…YET!
I would suggest speaking with a LiveChat representative, they explain in detail and are with you the whole time. It’s almost as if they were right there next to you!
https://panel.dreamhost.com/index.cgi?tree=support.msg (WebPanel)

The LiveChat button should be on the top of any page once you log in to your panel.

If you’re logged in to the panel then I believe this LiveChat link will work if you don’t see the LiveChat button once you log in.

Has anyone found a resolution to this problem yet? I’m having the same issue with DreamHost and cannot get it to work.

EDIT:
I resolved this issue bydoing the following:

• Creating a sudo enabled user on the DreamHost side

• Configured PuTTY with my new sudo user info

• Then I began Installing the deb package following the instructions on for Unity Asset Server.

• When I ran the dpkg command I received an error:

• package architecture (i386) does not match system (amd64)

• So I modified the command to:

• sudo dpkg –force-architecture -i unity-asset-server_2.0.1_i386.deb

• This produced the following print out:

dpkg: warning: overriding problem because --force enabled:
package architecture (i386) does not match system (amd64)
(Reading database … 156789 files and directories currently installed.)
Preparing to replace unity-asset-server 2.0.1f2-35557 (using unity-asset-server_2.0.1_i386.deb) …
Unpacking replacement unity-asset-server …
Setting up unity-asset-server (2.0.1f2-35557) …
update-rc.d: using dependency based boot sequencing
Unity asset server is now installed and running.
Please run /opt/unity_asset_server/bin/reset_admin_password to set the administrator password

From there I set my password and moved forward.

My Asset Serer is on a Debian Squeeze 6.0.9 with DreamHost, and I run Windows 8.1 on my home PC.
