Subject: Re: [Nfsen-discuss] Upgrade Broke NFSEN
OK, I have upgraded my nfsen and nfdump to the latest snapshot and am getting
the same error that started this discussion. Unfortunately, I have read
through this thread several times and am still having difficulty. (Sorry for
being slow). I have verified permissions on
nfsen.comm and have changed it to both my netflow account and the web account
with no luck. I am still getting
ERROR: nfsend connect() error: No such file or directory!
ERROR: nfsend - connection failed!!
ERROR: Can not initialize globals!
Can someone spell out what is causing my problem and how to resolve it.
Thanks for the help.
Jon

|
| [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/var/flows/nfsen/www# cat conf.php
| <?
| /* This file was automatically created by the NfSen
install.pl script */
|
| $COMMSOCKET = "/var/flows/nfsen/var/run/nfsen.comm";
That's $COMMSOCKET and not $PIDDIR. The default install puts it into the same
directory. So I agree, that $COMMSOCKET needs web server rw access, which is
set by
nfsend.
