[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Help required in configuration

[Muhammad Faiz Chishti]

You have been very good help Chris Sharp I understand your concern regarding
posting on the mailing list directly 

 

the problem is still there,  everything works and when we stop evergreen via
command 

 

osrf_ctl -l -a stop_all

 

and restart server all is down. srfsh command in opensrf login stops
responding giving

This command does not work at first instance
osrf_ctl -l -a start_all

to bring things up and running all trouble shooting process has to be
followed 

down apache server                       apache2ctl   stop 

down osrf command                     /openils/bin/osrf_ctl.sh -c
/openils/conf/opensrf_core.xml -l -a stop_all

rm /openils/var/run/*.pid

                        cd /openils/var/log/
                        mv *.* old/

then start  services with:              /openils/bin/osrf_ctl.sh -c
/openils/conf/opensrf_core.xml -l -a router_all

 
/openils/bin/osrf_ctl.sh -c /openils/conf/opensrf_core.xml -l -a perl_all

 
/openils/bin/osrf_ctl.sh -c /openils/conf/opensrf_core.xml -l -a c_all

All famous Smoke test   /openils/bin/autogen.sh -c
/openils/conf/opensrf_core.xml -u

 

and additionally it starts giving error fopen unable to access
/tmp/srfsh.log       and some bootstarp error 

then I use                                            chmod 777
/tmp/srfsh.log 

then bring up service for apache after testing srfsh which works fine 

Than bring up apache                     apache2ctl          start

 

All this has to be repeated every time the server restarts I would really
appreciate if this problem is solved

Hi Muhammad,

 

I had answered you in our off-list discussion - I'm assuming you're
re-asking on the list for others to help (or perhaps my response didn't come
through?).  Here was my response, in:

 

 

First thing I'll say is that it's better to have these discussions on the
list, because 1) it allows other people to benefit from the answers to your
questions and 2) it allows more experienced and skilled people to verify
that the answers I'm giving you are correct.

If the error is something like:

 

[Mon Feb 07 07:53:36 2011] [warn] NameVirtualHost *:80 has no VirtualHosts

 

That can be safely ignored.

If you had not run that command before, that was likely the reason for your
error.

Aside from testing that the OPAC responds (which it seems to), there's not a
lot of checking I can really do.  You'll need to be more specific about what
errors you're encountering.

The proper way to restart a server running Evergreen is to stop Evergreen
services (as the opensrf user):

 

osrf_ctl -l -a stop_all

 

before you shut down or restart your system.  If you don't do that, you will
need to manually delete the .pid files in /openils/var/run/ with the
command:

 

rm /openils/var/run/*.pid

 

then start your services with:

 

osrf_ctl -l -a start_all

 

You'll need to provide the specific wording of the error for me (or others
on the mailing list) to be able to know what it is.

Ubuntu 10.04 is fine for Evergreen.  Most of the Evergreen development team
uses Debian stable, and some use Fedora.

 

Let's take this back to the mailing list if you continue to have issues.
Good luck!

 

Chris
