Problem with xymon 4.3.10
list Andersson Tomas
Hi there ! I recently tried to upgrade from xymon 4.3.7 to 4.3.10 .. I'm working on HP-UX B.11.31 ia64 The building and compiling is OK no errors. But when I do a gmake install to move everything into place then I get some errors: chown root /opt/xymon/server/bin/fping4 /opt/xymon/server/bin/fping6 || echo "Could not make fping4/fping6 owned by root, continuing" /opt/xymon/server/bin/fping4: No such file or directory /opt/xymon/server/bin/fping6: No such file or directory Could not make fping4/fping6 owned by root, continuing chmod 4755 /opt/xymon/server/bin/fping4 /opt/xymon/server/bin/fping6 || echo "Could not make fping4/fping6 suid-root, continuing" chmod: can't access /opt/xymon/server/bin/fping4 chmod: can't access /opt/xymon/server/bin/fping6 Could not make fping4/fping6 suid-root, continuing What is fping4/fping6 ??? I already use fping and tell the configure.server script this when I get the question. Then when I start the new server no updates are made and after a while all columns go purple. !!!

Hi there !
I recently tried to upgrade from xymon 4.3.7 to 4.3.10 ..
I'm working on HP-UX B.11.31 ia64
The building and compiling is OK no errors.
But when I do a gmake install to move everything into place then I get
some errors:
chown root /opt/xymon/server/bin/fping4 /opt/xymon/server/bin/fping6 ||
echo "Could not make fping4/fping6 owned by root, continuing"
/opt/xymon/server/bin/fping4: No such file or directory
/opt/xymon/server/bin/fping6: No such file or directory
Could not make fping4/fping6 owned by root, continuing
chmod 4755 /opt/xymon/server/bin/fping4 /opt/xymon/server/bin/fping6 ||
echo "Could not make fping4/fping6 suid-root, continuing"
chmod: can't access /opt/xymon/server/bin/fping4
chmod: can't access /opt/xymon/server/bin/fping6
Could not make fping4/fping6 suid-root, continuing
What is fping4/fping6 ??? I already use fping and tell the
configure.server script this when I get the question.
Then when I start the new server no updates are made and after a while
all columns go purple. !!!
I can see in the following logfiles:
alert.log,clientdata.log, history.log, hostdata.log, rrd-data.log, rrd-
status.log

Hmm, Ok I've now updated the fping to fping 3.2 the latest I could find ... But anyhow should this be a separate binary and if there are any other binarys fping4 and or fping6 required it should say so wouldn't it. Because fping is not built in the xymon distribution or ? I found this in the hostdata.log: 2012-08-13 12:35:33 Could not get shm of size 5242880: No such file or directory 2012-08-13 12:35:33 Channel not available 2012-08-13 12:45:37 Peer not up, flushing message queue 2012-08-13 12:45:39 Peer not up, flushing message queue 2012-08-13 12:45:44 Peer not up, flushing message queue 2012-08-13 12:45:44 Peer not up, flushing message queue Anybody know ??

NO that is not the problem I am root alright ... root at hpivm006:/opt/xymon/server/etc # ls -l /opt/xymon/server/bin/fping4 /opt/xymon/server/bin/fping6 /opt/xymon/server/bin/fping4 not found /opt/xymon/server/bin/fping6 not found One problem is: there are no fping4 and/or fping6 ... No fping4 or fping6 in the directory structure: root at hpivm006:/opt/xymon/source/xymon-4.3.10 # find . -name "*fping*" ./build/fping.sh Only the config scricpt ... I don't know what fping4 and fping6 are for ? I have been using a fping that has worked for many years ... even when we had a bb installation ... Also configured in the xymonserver.cfg:FPING="/usr/local/bin/fping" to use fping Thanks anyway for your effort Best Regards, /Tomas Andersson
