Rebuilt server
list Lars Ebeling
Hi, I was very silly, I thought that Windows didn't write to the files when using ntabackup. I have no working tapestation on my HP-UXserver, so I installed Samba and used ntbackup to backup my server. But Windows change a lot of long filenames. At least is that what I think happened. So almost everything stopped working. But Samba was still running so I started to copy selected directories and config files to Windows. Since I think my mailserver is most critical I installed it on another HP-UXserver and got it to work Now I have reinstalled HP_UX and all needed libraries, compilers and other software. I hope. That's the background. I copied my Hobbit home directory back, and installed a new snapshot. After some trial and error almost everything works. All datafiles are updated. Main view, All non green and NK view seems to work. But when I click on History button I get: Cannot open history file. And no graphs are created. It seems like the data-directory isn't accessible.

Check the permissions on the "data" directory and the directories/files below. They must be accessible by the UID running your webserver, since these requests are handled by CGI programs. So directories should be mode 755, files mode 644 - all owned by hobbit. Henrik

I thought I had checked all the permissions, but obviously I hadn't: Thanks Henrik. Now all other software remain to be reinstalled: Lars ----- Original Message ----- From: "Henrik Stoerner" <user-ce4a2c883f75@xymon.invalid> To: <user-ae9b8668bcde@xymon.invalid> Sent: Friday, January 27, 2006 2:07 PM Subject: Re: [hobbit] Rebuilt server
