{| = PRB: Cannot Find FOXPRO.PR Error Message in FoxPro for UNIX =
 * width="100%"|

ID: Q124540

The information in this article applies to:


 * Microsoft FoxPro for UNIX, version 2.6

SYMPTOMS
When FoxPro for UNIX starts, you see a "Cannot find FOXPRO.PR" error message.

CAUSE
FoxPro for UNIX files have a set of default permissions, just like any other UNIX application. These files and their default permissions are documented in a file called foxpro in the /etc/perms subdirectory. This file can be viewed with any text editor. If these permissions are changed, FoxPro for UNIX may not run correctly.

WORKAROUND
Try the following basic troubleshooting steps:

1. Contact the system administrator to set the permissions on the FoxPro

files back to their defaults by typing:

fixperm /etc/perms/foxpro 2. Contact the system administrator to check the filesystems in  single-user mode only by typing:

fsck 3. Contact the system administrator to re-link the UNIX kernel (again  in single-user mode) by typing:

./link_unix

STATUS
This behavior is by design.
