Hi Steve, 

I am still getting the same problem again. I cannot follow the same procedure as you did below as I am not sure whether the installation is correct that way since you install the software in /scratch and then move it to /afs/hep.wisc.edu.. i dont think this would work as it doesn't have the same path as installed.
So I logged on to login.hep.wisc.edu, and installed directly  in  /afs/hep.wisc.edu/atlas/osg/atlas_app/atlas_rel/13.2.0, after less than an hour, the permissions have changed and I cannot write anymore

I will try to install from higgs08 now but I doubt this would work. 
Have you been able to install directly on /afs/?

Thanks
Annabelle

Neng & Mengmeng:

There should be a good installation of AtlasProduction 13.2.0 in
/afs/hep.wisc.edu/atlas/osg/atlas_app/atlas_rel/13.2.0. 

In the future, please try something like this:

 ssh login.hep.wisc.edu
 cd /scratch
 mkdir 13.x.y
 cd 13.x.y
 install AtlasProduction
 mkdir /afs/hep.wisc.edu/atlas/osg/atlas_app/atlas_rel/13.x.y
 cp -R -p . /afs/hep.wisc.edu/atlas/osg/atlas_app/atlas_rel/13.x.y/
 rm -rf /scratch/13.x.y

Let me know if you more help.

steve
