Are you installing a brand new store or upgrading a store that you moved?
Are you running the same version of install as what the other stores in the mall are using? If you try to install a store with a different version than the other stores that are in the mall there will be conflicts in the data like you are running into.

I am installing a 3rd store into an existing mall. I've updated the 2 Linux stores, and they both say v12 sp1 r4.0.1 in preferences->hosting service.

I've already upgraded the WIN store to v12sp1r4.0.1, intending to move the data over once the new store is set up over in Linuxville.

I am using the Linux install files for v12sp1r4 and my auth file (renamed store.auth)

Ah, this looks like the issue: Just saw in the error.log:
sh: 1: /usr/lib/tar: Permission denied

That appears to be a scratch folder with these permissions
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Feb 4 2014 tar

The tar program is in /bin/tar. Is it looking in the wrong place?.

You can change the path to tar in the install settings screen, so if the default one displayed is incorrect (and it is, if that is just a directory), then change it there.

Don't see an option for that.

I am adding a new store into an existing mall. That option showed up on the initial store install, but not here.

[loren_d_c]

Check in the wwwinstall.aa file, then.

OK, Thanks. Got it to install.
