Ticket was cloned from Red Hat Bugzilla (product Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7): Bug 1350792
Description of problem: Installer fails when installing directory server with some missleading errors when /var is in a FS mounted with noexec option. It could check if the FS is mounted with noexec or if the file is not executable and output the right error message and/or possible fix. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): All versions AFAIK How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.mount -o remount,noexec /var 2.ipa-server-install ... Actual results: The installation will fail when setting up the directory server, initially claiming it can't access the /tmp/file... Expected results: The installer will fail with the right error message and/or prompt the user for applying the solution. Additional info: Actually the executable files shouldn't be placed inside /var, they should go in /usr.

Metadata Update from @pvoborni: - Issue assigned to someone - Issue set to the milestone: FreeIPA 4.5 backlog
BZ re- assigned to DS team because they are providing scripts in /var.
I believe they plan to drop the instance-specific scripts in /var anyway.
