Custom Application Error

[Balamurugan Sadasivam]

Hello,
I am trying to upload an example application into my MTCAP via the Conduit UI. However I am getting the following error.

Failed to execute local for app with id 1:
determineBasePath failed to read manifest.json from tar file;
tar returned 512
Failed to determine app base path

Applicaiton Name- express-hello-world v1.4
(.tar.gz downloaded from https://www.multitech.net/developer/software/aep/creating-a-custom-application/)
MTCAP Firmware Running 5.2.1

I am new to this topic, what could be the reason ? should I modify any files ?

Thanks

Hi Balamurugan,

I have never successfully installed a custom app via the Conduit UI. I usually install winscp on my local machine or you could use putty. Then connect to the conduit and copy over the tar.gz fie you downloaded to the /var/tmp directory and install it by running the app-manager. for example:

sudo app-manager --command local --appfile express-hello-world-1.4.tar.gz --appname "express-hello-world"

Hope that helps? As far as the Conduit UI throwing the error, may be some one from Multitech can chime in. Meanwhile you could try via the command line to install the app.

Thanks,
Ajay
