RE: [Serusers] Problem with 'ser'? - sr-users

10 Nov 2003

Hi!

Please always CC to the mailingslist, so others may help you too.

mysql: I always used the mysql rpms from redhat. they are working fine. You need at least
the server-rpm, and the  client-rpm. (I think you would also need the mysql-devel rpms if
you want to build ser from sources.)

I don't know if mysqladmin is intalled from the mysql server rpm, but you may try
'find -name mysqladmin'
from the / directoy to find it.

regards,
Klaus

 Hi Klaus,

 Thanks for an impressively quick answer.  I'll certainly try 
 to do it your 
 way.  The funny thing is that /var/log/messages did show that 
 ser started 
 OK, but it clearly 'went away' after startup.  I didn't check process 
 status though.  I'll do that next time.

 Do you know anything about MySQL?  I downloaded the server RPM from 
 mysql.com last night and it installed without any comments, 
 but afterward I 
 couldn't find the admin script 'mysqladmin' anywhere.  
 Everything else but 
 that.  Odd ...

 I'll keep you posted on my progress if you like.

 Thanks again.

/var/log/messages says "ser shutdown unsuccessful". 
ICMP unreachable means, that ser is not running. this may be   caused by an
 error in the config file or due to some other
reason. watch   the logging during
 startup on another console, as root type:
tail -f /var/log/messages

I use the alias command just before the module loading and   it works fine for
 me, also with several domains, e.g:

fifo="/tmp/ser_fifo"
alias=obelix.ict.tuwien.ac.at
alias=xyz.ict.tuwien.ac.at

sometimes ser does not start (reported several times on the   mailinglist,
 mostly at redhat systems). you can easy verify if
ser is running by:
ps -A

Then you should see a lot of ser processes running.

 I am not running mysql.  I'll try that next.

 Thanks.  (Hope I am sending this to the right place.)
