New 5.1.5 Multitech Firmware and Installer Error

Hi All,

Just installed new firmware (mPower™ Edge Intelligence 5.1.5) on a MTCDT-247A (AEP AUS)

and tried the installer script (which ran fine on the previous 1.4.17 firmware I had on it) and get the following error

installer.sh: line 733: /var/config/lora/global_conf_src: Permission denied
FATAL ERROR: could not obtain gateway id, Lora card not found

even though the card shows up within the Multitech GUI no worries

any ideas?

regards
Paul

So, is there such file global_conf_src in that folder /var/config/lora/? If yes, what are its file permissions? Something like ls -l /var/config/lora/global_conf_src should tell.

(If further debugging is needed then please link to the installer script as well?)

Could you run the install script using sudo?

sudo bash ./installer.sh

Yep, you must running the installer after updating again with the sudo command.
Then everything will go well.
Just done last evening
