install-bindist.sh - error: tar: couldn't get gname for gid 101

[jerryk]

Hello,

First, many thanks to those that might offer any suggestions.

I'm installing Apache on an HPUX 11 machine and I used the install-bindist.sh (as root).

It went right to work, but then I got about 200 of the following errors:
tar: couldn't get gname for gid 101
tar: couldn't get uname for uid 111
tar: couldn't get gname for gid 101

....Then I got the OK message below on completion. Any Ideas what might have failed?

Ready.

| |
| /usr/local/apache/conf/httpd.conf
| |
| You should then be able to immediately fire up |
| Apache the first time by running: |
| |
| /usr/local/apache/bin/apachectl start

| Thanks for using Apache. The Apache Group |

Nothing really failed, it just looks like the tarball used some user and group IDs that are not present on your system.
