Thanks, Wayne. Also to Jorge Soto who referred me to a web page that discusses installing RD 2.0.2 on Ubuntu 10.04 and suggests a script modification against the installed /etc/init.d/rivendell script. However, I don't think that's the problem. I looked at the rivendell script and it checks for and creates the /var/run/rivendell directory before performing either a start or a stop request. I don't automatically start the Rivendell daemons. Here's what I see after a reboot: -- If I start the daemons manually, RD functions work (RDAdmin, etc.). sudo /etc/init.d/rivendell start -- If I manually create the /var/run directory, RD functions start the daemons and then work. sudo mkdir /var/run/rivendell -- If I don't do either, RD functions fail with the "daemons can't be started" message. So it seems that whatever RD function modules check for and start the daemons aren't handling the case where /var/run/rivendell doesn't exist. For posterity, here's the link Jorge provided: http://www.talkunafraid.co.uk/2011/06/rivendell-2-0-2-on-ubuntu-10-04-2-lts/ And here's the page I've been using as a reference, RD 2.1.1 on Debian 6: http://rivendell.tryphon.org/wiki/Debian_6_Install_Rivendell_2.1.1_from_Sour ce _______________________________________________ Rivendell-dev mailing list [email protected] http://caspian.paravelsystems.com/mailman/listinfo/rivendell-dev
