from install_amp, line 722: outn("Configuring install for your environment.."); if (!$dryrun) { exec("chmod u+x ".$amp_conf["AMPSBIN"]."/amportal"); exec(dirname(__FILE__)."/apply_conf.sh"); } out("OK"); it seems your amportal.conf does not contain the AMPSBIN line. This is one of the upgrades from 1.0.009 to 1.0.010, which should be applied 25 lines bellow, in line 750 of the same file. Nice... you found a nice bug in the upgrade script. Feel free to file a bug report. To fix it, be sure that /usr/bin/apply_conf.sh is available and add to your /etc/amportal.conf this line AMPSBIN=/usr/sbin and then execute the upgrade script again. That "should" work, but who knows... :) Do tell us if this works or not.
