[Spread-users] First steps with Spread : can't get it run :(

[Alexandre BAUMEISTER]

Ryan,

RC> Please send your spread.conf, and the exact error you receive.

  Here  is my original email in which I hope I put everything that can
  helps.

  I'm trying tu run 3.17.

  ==========================================================

Bonjour,

  I  have  two  servers. One Intel Linux and one SUN E450 Solaris 2.8.
  They  are not in the same network and there is Internet behind them.
  And I have some problems on both.

  Linux box :
  ===========
  As soon as I set the option EventLogFile = /var/log/spread.log
  Spread refuse to start with the following error :

[Fri 16 May 2003 16:50:17] disabling Dangerous Monitor Commands!

[Fri 16 May 2003 18:16:37] Conf_init: My proc ëþÿ¿ is not in configuration
Exit caused by Alarm(EXIT)

  If I comment the EventLogFile it starts fine and writes all messages
  on stdout.

  This server is rack06 (see config bellow). I don't understand why as
  soon as I set the EventLogFile it says proc's name is "ëþÿ¿" !

  Solaris box:
  ============
  I can't get it to run at all. It's always returning me the following
  error :

Exit caused by Alarm(EXIT)

  I  tried  with  setting  other  IP address (broadcast address of the
  network  on  which are the procs z.z.134.255). Note that this server
  is not alone.


  Here is the config file that I have on these servers :
=====================================================================
Spread_Segment 255.0.1.1 {
  rack06 x.x.74.206 {
    x.x.74.206
    127.0.0.1 }
  rack07 y.y.220.67 {
    y.y.220.67
    127.0.0.1 }
}

Spread_Segment 255.0.1.1 {
  sun01381 z.z.134.217 {
    z.z.134.217
    z.z.134.34
    127.0.0.1 }
  sun01513 z.z.134.231 {
    z.z.134.231
    z.z.134.52
    127.0.0.1 }
  sun01514 z.z.134.232 {
    z.z.134.232
    z.z.134.53
    127.0.0.1 }
  sun01515 z.z.134.233 {
    z.z.134.233
    z.z.134.54
    127.0.0.1 }
}

DebugFlags = { ALL }
EventLogFile = /var/log/spread.log
EventTimeStamp
DangerousMonitor = false
RuntimeDir = /var/run/spread
DaemonUser = spread
DaemonGroup = spread
=====================================================================

  I    built    the    binaries    from    the    src   "./configure
  --prefix=/sur/local/spread ; make ; make install"

  Any idea why I have these problems ?

  Kind regards,
  Alex.
