I agree. It doesn’t appear to be completely installed even if you fix up some of the script paths and script variables. They still end with a 404 error.

importfile and exportfile aren’t in your path. Section 1.24.0 Filexfer of the System Administrators guide isn’t complete. The two symbolic link commands

# ln -s /apps/filexfer/1 /apps/filexfer/current # ln -s /apps/filexfer/current/exportfile /apps/bin/exportfile

weren’t executed in the HUB-in-a-box install. Plus you need symlinks in /apps/bin for importfile and filexfer.

# ln -s /apps/filexfer/current/importfile /apps/bin/importfile # ln -s /apps/filexfer/current/filexfer /apps/bin/filexfer

Once you have those symlinks and try to run either exportfile or importfile I get the error

tclsh: error while loading shared libraries: libtcl8.4.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I got past that by adding the following lines near the beginning of the file.

#\ export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/apps/rappture/current/lib

References the log files /home/myhub/burns/data/sessions/NNNL/filexferPID.log and /var/lib/mw/NNN.err were helpful in uncovering these and other messages like

can’t find package Itk while executing

“package require Itk” (file “/apps/bin/filexfer” line 14)

so I ended up adding the following lines to the top of filexfer

#\ export TCLLIBPATH=/apps/rappture/current/lib #\ export ITCL_LIBRARY=/apps/rappture/current/lib/itcl3.3
#\ export ITK_LIBRARY=/apps/rappture/current/lib/itk3.3
#\ export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/apps/rappture/current/lib

The /var/lib/mw/NNN.err file also complains about

couldn’t read file “/usr/share/hubzero/filexfer/importfile.tcl”: no such file or directory

which I fixed by # mkdir /var/lib/vz/template/debian-5.0-amd64-maxwell/usr/share/hubzero # ln -s /apps/filexfer/current /var/lib/vz/template/debian-5.0-amd64-maxwell/usr/share/hubzero/filexfer

data/sessions/NNNL/filexfer.log complains about

failed: couldn’t execute “/usr/lib/hubzero/clientaction”: no such file or directory

fix with

# ln -s /usr/lib/mw/bin/clientaction /var/lib/vz/template/debian-5.0-amd64-maxwell/usr/lib/hubzero/clientaction

At this point I get the popup windows for importfile and exportfile, but they both give 404 errors on URLs of the form

https://hubzero.et-test.psu.edu/filexfer/3yMYqio2ipAUgXFr/download/oo.dat?token=MtG6boNYxCVySDLPOHuI

and

https://hubzero.et-test.psu.edu/filexfer/3yMYqio2ipAUgXFr/download/upload928.html?token=dtGJwYQ2cwod540XqYW1

“filexfer” doesn’t exist as a directory in Apache’s DocumentRoot and I don’t see an obvious rewrite rule for it in Apache’s config file. I think it’s either missing that or maybe some PHP code in the DocumentRoot directory to parse that URL.
