I'm a linux newbie and having some trouble with NUT, can anyone assist? I've read the FAQ and various articles online by Peter Sellinger and others thoroughly. OS is ClarkConnect 4.2, which is based on CentOS4/RHEL 4. UPS is an APC SmartUPS 1500 (USB). Correct driver is believed to be usbhid-ups. No RPM for my OS was available past 2.0, so I built from source using NUT 2.2. I think this all worked OK, did not see anything suspicious. (But again, compiling on linux is also new to me.) PC is a pretty generic ASUS motherboard with an AMD X2 proc and nVidia chipset (MCP55 USB).
The setup had some USB issues causing initial confusion. I'm running a workaround to get EHCI and OHCI loaded instead of UHCI; USB appears fine now, although I am not successful using hotplug. CC does not use udev and thus I presume should be using "old-style" hotplug scripts. The scripts look fine but I can never get the files to show as owned by "ups" as described. However, -u root workaround seems OK. Concluded this was not a core issue. When I run: upsdrvctl -u root start upsserver all looks OK on results: Network UPS Tools - UPS driver controller 2.2.0- Network UPS Tools: 0.28 USB communication driver 0.28 - core 0.30 (2.2.0-) Detected a UPS: American Power Conversion/Smart-UPS 1500 RM FW:617.3.D USB FW:8.1 Using subdriver: APC/CyberPower HID 0.9 But when I run: upsd -u root I get: Network UPS Tools upsd 2.2.0- not listening on 192.168.0.20 port 3493 That's the correct IP for the local machine; same results if I use localhost instead. Of course, upsc and upsmon are also unsuccessful. It feels like I'm allllllllmost there. Any ideas for me? Thanks group!
