Trouble creating new rcXXXX service
by Richard Mixon (qwest) 23 Feb '05

23 Feb '05

Sorry to repost - I changed subject so its not perceived as a Java/Tomcat issue. I thought this would be common SuSE issue. I have read the /etc/init.d/skeleton files and do not find any reference to a registry of services (other than /etc/init.d/*). My problem is trying to clone existing script /etc/init.d/tomcat to a new one (/etc/init.d/tomcat55) that runs a new version of the Tomcat application server. NOTE: We are running SLES9 on AMD64, but I assume the rc script framework/conventions are the same on SuSE Pro 9.2 and SLES9 (that's why I am posting on both lists). Apologies if this is not correct. Anyway, I have SLES9 servers running the Jakarta Tomcat 5.0.19 application server that comes with SLES9. Due to some clustering/failover problems I need to upgrade to the latest Tomcat 5.5.7 and apply some provided patches. Here's what I did: 1. Expanded the ".gz" file in the home directory of the user that the app server will run under. 2. Copied the /etc/init.d/tomcat script to /etc/init.d/tomcat55 and changed the appropriate references to "tomcat" to "tomcat55". 3. Made corresponding adjustements to /etc/sysconfig/j2ee (actually a copy called tomcat55 and referenced it from the init.d script). 4. I can now start and stop using "/etc/init.d/tomcat55 start" and /etc/init.d/tomcat55 stop" with no problem. 5. However when I go to install the script it fails with these messages: kingfish:/etc/init.d # insserv /etc/init.d/tomcat55 insserv: script tomcat.20050216a: service tomcat already provided! insserv: script tomcat: service tomcat already provided! kingfish:/etc/init.d # Here is the header for my /etc/init.d/tomcat55 script: # # /etc/init.d/tomcat55 # # and symbolic its link # # /usr/sbin/rctomcat55 # # System startup script for the Tomcat servlet container # ### BEGIN INIT INFO # Provides: tomcat55 # Required-Start: $local_fs $remote_fs # X-UnitedLinux-Should-Start: $named $syslog $time # Required-Stop: $local_fs $remote_fs # X-UnitedLinux-Should-Stop: $named $syslog $time # Default-Start: 3 5 # Default-Stop: 0 1 2 6 # Short-Description: Tomcat Servlet Container - Version 5.5.x # Description: Start Tomcat 5.5.x to allow JAVA server pages ### END INIT INFO What am I missing? Thank you in advance - Richard

Hi I must be thick! I Booted the installation media and chose upgrade but it said that everything was up to date and I couldn't find a way to force an install, so then I tried/chose install but I couldn't find a way not to format the disk when I chose advanced it still said what partition to you want to clear so I am at a loss kindest regards John Proctor. 2. Do an upgrade install, but force YaST to reinstall. This should correct your problem in much less time. >From: "John Proctor" <jproctor0(a)hotmail.com> To: gaf(a)blu.org CC: >suse-linux-e(a)suse.com Subject: Re: [Fwd: Re: [SLE] Please Desperate Help to >recover.] Date: Mon, 21 Feb 2005 20:41:54 +0000 > >Hi Jerry thanks for your help I will try again tomorrow, I didn't know you >could force a re-install from an upgrade again great help John Proctor. > > >>From: Jerry Feldman <gaf(a)blu.org> To: c Subject: Re: [Fwd: Re: [SLE] >>Please Desperate Help to recover.] Date: Mon, 21 Feb 2005 15:31:33 -0500 >> >>On Mon, 21 Feb 2005 18:27:12 +0000 "John Proctor" <jproctor0(a)hotmail.com> >>wrote: >> >> > I have set the system to init 3 and then run yast in text mode but as >>soon > as I run the section install/remove software, it just hangs with >>the message > initializing. > If I install SuSE 8 onto another hard drive >>should I then copy from the old > hard drive to the new installation with >>the command: first cd onto the >> >> > mounted file system then use the command cp -rp * / > Alternatively if >>I boor into init 3 how would I go about re-installing the > system or >>check to see what files where missing extremely grateful for all > the >>very kind help John Proctor.

Got a problem with Musicman that I need help with. I'm using SuSE 9.2 with musicman 0.11-0.pm.4 from packman. Music Manager does not show with right click on mp3's and in control center I get the error below -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The diagnostics is: KLibrary: /opt/kde3/lib/kde3/libkcm_musicman.so: undefined symbol: create_musicman Possible reasons: An error occurred during your last KDE upgrade leaving an orphaned control module You have old third party modules lying around. Check these points carefully and try to remove the module mentioned in the error message. If this fails, consider contacting your distributor or packager. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- All help most appreciated. Thanks Dave

Kernel Panic when installing 64bit on dual opteron
by Hugo 23 Feb '05

23 Feb '05

Hi! I have a problem with dual Opteron (244) server with 1.8Tb RAID 5 disk and 8Gb mem. It boots with the Knoppix CD as well as SuSE 9.2 Gnome 32bit live eval. But I'm trying to install the FTP version of SuSE 9.2 Pro 64bit on this computer - and I'm not getting anywhere. I have tried both the ftp DVD as well as the mini-CD. And I get the same results with both: i.e. Kernel panic. Everything is OK after boot, but when the installer loads the kernel, then I get kernel panic. I've tried all the options (safe mode, ACPI=off, manual installation etc.) but always the same problem. The DVD md5 sums at least matched to the ones reported and I get the same problem with 2 medias. Any ideas? -- HG

openldap and tls
by HK 23 Feb '05

23 Feb '05

Has anyone gotten this to work? I've spent _HOURS_ over several days trying. SuSE 9.2 PRO openldap 2.2.15-5.2 openssl 0.9.7d-25 Create my own CA key and self signed cert. Create key and cert for ldap.server.net. This matches hostname -f Sign ldap.server.net.pem cert with CA cert. Use openssl verify to check ldap.server.net.pem against ca.pem. OK. Add the following to /etc/openldap/slapd.conf: TLSACACertificateFile /etc/openldap/certs/ca.pem TLSCertificateFile /etc/openldap/certs/ldap.server.net.pem TLSCertificateKeyFile /etc/openldap/keys/ldap.server.net.key Add the following to /etc/openldap/ldap.conf TLS_CACERT /etc/openldap/certs/ca.pem try to start slapd with: slapd -d 1 errors are: TLS: private key mismatch TLS: error:140A80B1:SSL routines:SSL_CTX_check_private_key:no certificate assigned main: TLS init def ctx failed: -1 slapd starts as long either TLSACACertificateFile or TLSCertificateKeyFile are commented out in slapd.conf. I've made sure ldap is owner and group of /etc/openldap/certs and /etc/openldap/keys. Have gone thru key and cert creation process several times for CA and server. Since the server cert verify OK - maybe I have something wrong with the server key or in a config file somewhere. But what or where? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Mail - Find what you need with new enhanced search. http://info.mail.yahoo.com/mail_250

SuseFirewall2 or IPTables, is there a difference
by Colin Murphy 23 Feb '05

23 Feb '05

Recent events have made me think about firewalls. What is the difference between SuseFirewall2 and the firewalls found in other distros - which I am assuming are referred to as IPTables. Thanks again. -- Colin(a)SpudULike.me.uk As seasons go I especially like pepper.

conflicts even after upgrade
by perlcgi2000 23 Feb '05

I am trying to install winetools. I got the rpm but it told me I needed xdialog which I installed. But even after installing it, the winetools rpm says I need xdialog when I try to install it using YAST. Is there a manual way to update the system with my new xdialog installation ?
