I'm trying to use Fossil on my shared sever through SSH. I've taken the following steps:

  1. Created the folder fossil (in my user root, which gives the path /fossil/)
  2. Uploaded the linux build of Fossil in /fossil/
  3. Gave both the fossil folder and file CHMOD 755

However, using SSH and cd'ing into /fossil (which is the correct path), and then using any command only results in Segmentation fault.

Any suggestions on how to solve this problem are greatly appreciated.

  • Did you download a pre-compiled binary package, or did you build from source? I'd first suspect that you are trying to use a pre-compiled build for a different OS. – Greg Hewgill Jul 12 '12 at 23:53
  • @GregHewgill I downloaded the pre-compiled package. I'm completely new this area (SSH, linux and version control). I figured that the time had come to finally get familiar with VCS. :-) – Zar Jul 12 '12 at 23:55
  • If you want to learn a VCS and don't have a particular preference, you can learn Git online in your browser without installing anything at http://try.github.com. – Greg Hewgill Jul 13 '12 at 00:01

I was, like Greg said, most likely using the wrong build. Bulding Fossil on my own solved my problem and now it works great.
