My amindexed debug file gives this information:
"more amindexd.20010927121349.debug
amindexd: debug 1 pid 15662 ruid 37 euid 37 start time Thu Sep 27
12:13:49 2001
amindexd: version 2.4.2p2
could not open conf file "/usr/local/etc/amanda/amidxtape/amanda.conf":
No such file or directory
amindexd: pid 15662 finish time Thu Sep 27 12:13:49 2001"
I'm not sure why it is looking for that file.
My configuration name is daily and the configuration file is in
/usr/local/etc/amanda/daily/amanda.conf. I execute "amrecover -C
daily" and get the same results:
"/usr/local/sbin/amrecover -C daily
AMRECOVER Version 2.4.2p2. Contacting server on darkangel ...
amrecover: Unexpected server end of file"
The compiled default is DailySet1 but using -C is supposed to let
you specify another configuration. All the other compiled defaults for
amrecover seem to match my setup.
