Error: An error occurred attempting to mount the package

Not applicable

Seems to be happening with every package I create and try to deploy. Attached a log below:

Spaces?

Not sure what you mean by that?

Hes saying there are spaces in your .dmg file name. Do you see the same error when deploying a package without spaces in the file name? Also, try connecting to the CasperShare manually from the machine you are doing the install from and see if you can mount the .dmg

Have you tried taking the spaces off the DMG name?

Have spaces in many of our packages without issue. I've gotten another user here to package it up without issue. So it seems isolated to my setup.

Im getting the same thing but have no spaces in my package names - only _ and -
Would be interested to see what the problem is.

Funnily enough they deploy (pkg's) and run normally when you run them locally.
Just trying them over a casper policy now.

Had a similar issue with 9.01, after talking with JAMF support, it ended up needing a 'sudo chmod 755 mypackage.dmg' before uploading to Casper Admin, was able to get it to push out after that.

usually winds up being the problem here as well. chmod 755 is the common resolution for us as well in this case.

I just recently started seeing this error for the first time. I tried the chmod command and tried rebuilding the package to no avail. Then I noticed all of the failed policies were on machines that were updated to 10.11.5 (latest version of El Capitan) but had not rebooted since getting 10.11.5. Once I rebooted the machines, the policy worked fine.

Thanks all. The resolution - 'sudo chmod 755 mypackage.dmg' before uploading to JAMF pro is still valid.

For some reason, I am not able to change the permissions on the .DMG, even as root

Error: Operation Denied

Have you run into this?

Another reason to use https downloads from a DP whenever possible since that ensures the downloaded .pkg/.dmg will be accessible.

I'm getting this error using JCDS in JAMF Pro 11.0.1
