Summary: nsd runs for a few seconds, then quits
Initial Comment:
I'm a student working on a project for class... the
project I chose was to get AOLserver up and running on
a Red Hat box, plus a few other things for later.
However, I'm having a problem starting and running
AOLserver. It would appear that I have installed and
configured it properly, as the nsd76 file does run.
The problem is that it runs for a few seconds, and
then quits. I suppose that might mean it's not
actually running at all.
the command I'm running is (from root)
./bin/nsd -t ./config.tcl -u nobody
Then I view the processes, and it'll be there.. then
I'll view the processes again, and it will be gone
(this taking place over 2 or 3 seconds).
I get the same problem if I try to run it as or under
another user. What might be the problem? Even a place
to start looking would be helpful, as I'm still fairly
new to Linux.
Thanks in Advance,
-Plasticus

Yes, run with -f to see the error log on stdout.
In addition, some advice: do not run AOLserver as user
nobody. User nobody was created for a specific purpose: it
is the user that root is mapped to over NFS. It should not
be used for running any old daemon. Create a new user,
perhaps named "web" or "www" or "nsadmin" and run AOLserver
as that user. Also make a dedicated group for your web server.

Corey, is this problem still occurring? What version of
AOLserver are you running?
Also, try adding "-g nogroup" to the bin/nsd command line.
(Replace "nogroup" with whatever group you want the
webserver to run as.)
Also, try using nsd8x instead of nsd76 and see if that
makes any difference.
If you still can't get things working, it may help to
attach your config.tcl as there may be something in there
that's causing the problem. Could you get nsd started
using the stock sample-config.tcl?

Try to run AOL with '-f' option.
This is './bin/nsd -t ./config.tcl -u nobody -f'. You will
see the server log on your screen. Or You may choose to take
a look into your logs manually. They usually reside in
'./log/' directory. Take a look at file named 'server.log'.
Inside this file it is usually written why your server can't
start. The most common problem is that something is
misconfigured or server cannot bind to port on your machine.
If you cannot figure out what is wrong, send me last 50
lines of log and I will try to help you.
Regards,
Damian Czupryn.
