Hi there,

i did managed installing prince a long time before, but now i dont. tried the whole day everything with no luck.
here are some terminal outputs:

$ sudo prince-20171214-debian8.0-amd64/install.sh
prince-20171214-debian8.0-amd64/install.sh: line 12: cd: prince-20171214-debian8.0-amd64: Not a directory
Prince 20171214

    This is the directory in which Prince 20171214 will be installed.

    [/usr/local]: /is/htdocs/wp10671714_0X8790PEQ9/xxxxx/xxxxx/xxxxx/xxxxx/xxxxx/xxxxx/xxxxx/prince

why is there the first warning "not a directory"?
why the second saying "prince: Is a directory"?
even i use "sudo" it says that no directory could be created. why?

thx in advance!

That's odd, does it behave differently if you run the install script from within the same directory, eg. "cd prince-20171214-debian8.0-amd64 ; ./install.sh"?

Does the /is/htdocs/wp10671714_0X8790PEQ9 directory exist?

no and yes
i also can create directory and files even without "sudo" in the "prince"-directory manually.
tried previous version 201709..., same result.

That's odd, could you please try running the attached shell script? It will print some diagnostics that may help us to figure out what is going on.
