"package file parameter missing" in package manager

Avatar

Level 5

facing "package file parameter missing" error message while trying to upload a package in the server. This package is fine because i have downloaded the package from other server where it is working fine. I have also modified the start.sh file based on some google help and provided below parameters - 

CQ_JVM_OPTS="-XX:+HeapDumpOnOutOfMemoryError -XX:HeapDumpPath=/app/AEM6/author/tmp ${CQ_JVM_OPTS}"
CQ_JVM_OPTS="-Djava.io.tmpdir=/app/AEM6/author/tmp ${CQ_JVM_OPTS}"

 

I have also looked into /tmp directory, which also looks fine (no space issues). Also looked into /tmp path, permissions are set correct

bash-4.2$ df -g /tmp
Filesystem    GB blocks      Free %Used    Iused %Iused Mounted on
/dev/hd3           2.50      2.49    1%      878     1% /tmp

 

Please provide some directions, what is wrong in this server.

It would help if you specify what version you're on and what service packs or hotfixes you've applied.

For example, if using AEM 6.1, you need SP1.

See if this community article helps:

However - this deals with space issue. I suggest opening a ticket - there does not seem to be a lot of information about this condition other than space issues.

This issue has been fixed. Root cause was /app/AEM6/author/tmp was not in the server, i had to create the directory manually to fix the issue.

Just restating the solution that when we upload the packages it creates required information at run time in /tmp folder.

Generally,this /tmp folder is existed in /crx-quickstart folder.

Thanks,

Hi @sandeepm744005

The issue is normally due to one of following 3 reasons:

- tmpdir does not have enough space

- tmpdir does not exist.

- AEM service user does not have proper permission to tmpdir

Back your case, I think it is because of permission issue. Solve it by:

- Check owner and permission of tmpdir: # ls -ls

- May need to update ownership to tmpdir: # sudo chown -R aem:aem $tmpdir

- And may need to update read+write permission: # sudo chmod +rw $tmpdir
