Help on installing x64 RMA on Mint

[KS-Soft]

Please read my 1st post, I said you should create this file and you should put specific parameters into the file, only after that you can install service.

Also I think its a good idea first to setup rma.ini file, start RMA and make sure RMA works according to your needs. Then install RMA as service

Also you missed this answer

I assume you specified path without filename. If /home/sysadmin/sbin/rma is folder then you should set /home/sysadmin/sbin/rma/rma

You have wrong paramater in rma.ini file, should be RmaPath = /sysadmin/sbin/rma/rma

Long story short.....

1) Many thanks to Alex for his support and..

2) The 'fix' on Mint 22.1 the rma 'executable' file needs to be made executable - obvious really but as a newbie to Mint I made the wrong assumption.

3) So run chmod a+x rma to make the RMA executable.

4) It will then run in a terminal session...

Code: Select all

sysadmin@WM-Mint:~/sbin/rma$ sudo ./rma -i -v -p 1055 /home/sysadmin/sbin/rma/rma.ini

5) and can also be installed as a service

6) Remember to open port 1055 of the firewall if you are using the RMA in passive mode.

Easy when you know how! (phew!)

You are welcome and thank you for the update
Executable flag can be lost if you extract RMA archive on Windows system and then copy files to Linux

and as Alex points out, the RMA file in the D/L archive is set to be executable - but one loses that flag if you D/L and uncompress on a Windows box rather than directly to the Linux host.
