AutoInstall SSL Errors – Linux

This article lists error messages sometimes experienced while installing or using AutoInstall SSL on Linux servers and provides recommended solutions.

Command not found

Problem

Getting a command not found error when trying to run AutoInstall SSL.

Example

-bash: runautoinstallssl.sh: command not found

Solution

This typically happens for one of two reasons:

• The AutoInstall SSL agent is not installed on your server—in this case, install the program.
• The AutoInstall SSL agent’s install location is not in your PATH variable. You can either use the full path to run AutoInstall SSL (eg. /opt/autoinstallssl/aisagent/runautoinstallssl.sh) or update your PATH and secure_path variables to include /opt and/or usr/bin.
