Error deploying an app from Windows deploy server to *nix forwarder

[Cris]

Upgrading the Windows 2008 Indexer/Deploy Server from 4.1.x to 4.2.2 the deploy server can't deploy *nix apps due to the error:

07-11-2011 14:21:00.484 -0100 WARN DeployedServerClass - There was a problem installing app: Terra_Sun_Authlog for server class: c_Terra_Sun_Authlog
07-11-2011 14:22:01.039 -0100 WARN DeployedApplication - Installing app: Terra_Sun_Authlog to location: /opt/splunk\etc\apps/Terra_Sun_Authlog
07-11-2011 14:22:01.084 -0100 ERROR DeployedApplication - Failed to install app : /opt/splunk\etc\apps/Terra_Sun_Authlog. Application does not exist: Terra_Sun_Authlog

I can see some mixing with slash and (windows) back slash on the path!

Any suggestion or workaround? Thank you.

I already solved the problem adding the below lines on the deploymentclient.conf file of the *nix forwarders:

[deployment-client]

repositoryLocation = $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/apps

serverRepositoryLocationPolicy = rejectAlways

Thanks anyway, bye.

In my instance, "$SPLUNK_HOME/etc/apps" wasn't known, so for the serverclass specific to Linux, I added the full path.

Probably nothing to do with Splunk, rather my "PATH" settings on Linux, but it may help others.

On the linux machine where the app is being deployed you need this line in your deploymentclient.conf file: repositoryLocation = $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/apps

This will fix the wrong slashes, at least it did for me.
