I'm running wview on a via epia mini-itx (533Mhz processor with 384Mbyte RAM) system and have had problems with reliable starting, basically the html pages were generated somes times and not others. My system is running suse 9.0.

I cured the problem by inserting a 2 second sleep between each daemon starting in the /etc/init.d/wview script.

For info here's my /var/log/messages output before the delay inserted and after.

The htmlgen daemon starts but doesn't always generate html files. The delay has improved things but it's still not 100%.

Any suggestions for working out what's going wrong?

Thanks

Hi Richard

Could there be a problem with your serial port? With wview stopped, does 'vpconfig /dev/ttyS0 show' work consistently?

So on the failure startup listed above is 'wviewssh.conf does not exist - exiting... ' the last thing you hear from any of the wview daemons? Are any of them (including radmrouted) still running after this?

Hi

Does anyone have any more suggestions on solving this problem?

I'm now finding that the system only starts successfully 1 in 5 times or less.

Thanks in advance

Hi Richard

I'm still a bit puzzled about the exact nature of the problem. Do the other daemons (wvwunderd, wviewd etc) keep on working fine? Are you generating to a local or remote filesystem? When it is running OK are you only stopping it to see whether it starts successfully next time?

Cheers

Hi Jon,

I must admit it is a bit puzzling, the other daemons are running, but I've checked and confirm that the wvalarmd does not accept any connections to the port. I haven't checked whether wvwunderd is still updating. It's almost as if the system is locked in a waiting state. I've tried kill -HUP to the daemons and they respond and toggle their log status as you'd expect.

All files are generated to a local filesystem (same disk as wview is running on).

Once the system is running then everything works perfectly until the box gets rebooted which I'm now avoiding but I've been changing some bios settings which has caused a few reboots.

Thanks in advance.

Richard
