Re: Question about Ventrilo port at startup
Hi Lowell, The port maintainer wasn't able to reply to my first email, however, he included the following in a reply to my post in questions which I've included in case you should find it useful: Check to make sure your /usr/local/etc/ventrilo_srv.ini file can be read by the ventrilo user/group. chgrp ventrilo /usr/local/etc/ventrilo_srv.ini Also make sure that the log file is writable by the ventrilo user. chown /usr/local/ventrilo-server/ventrilo_srv.log I still am having no luck with it starting up by itself on a reboot, which is my main goal, however, I'll keep on trying and have asked another question. Not sure what else is to be done other than enable it in /etc/rc.conf Thanks Miles On 11/13/06, Lowell Gilbert <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Miles <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes: > Running 6.1 installed from the most recent .iso CD and sync'd ports > through CVS, I wish to have the Ventrilo port start up as a daemon > upon reboot, however, I'm not having any success in having this > happen.

I did reply, but your email address bounced.

Re: Question about Ventrilo port at startup
I will try the forcestart option when I get home. I do know that the start option has not worked for me, though, and I am not sure what I am doing incorrectly. In any case, I'll let you know the results of this.

Question about Ventrilo port at startup
Hi,
Running 6.1 installed from the most recent .iso CD and sync'd ports
through CVS, I wish to have the Ventrilo port start up as a daemon upon
reboot, however, I'm not having any success in having this happen. I did
some searching with Google and found little information specific to
FreeBSD for Ventrilo at all, let alone a start up script. The port has
one, but it seems to not work, rather it is that I do not know how to
make it work properly. Trying to run it results in it exiting out
without anything starting.
Searching the Handbook, I found that section on rc.d, and modifying a
sample script there I was able to get Ventrilo to start from the script,
however, it still wouldn't work if I put a line in /etc/rc.conf
ventrilo_enable="YES"
And this was with the script into /usr/local/etc/rc.d/ as well.
So what I am wondering is what I am missing and/or supposed to do with
the script that came with the port given below? If someone could point
me in the right direction, that would be great. Am I doing things
correctly with /etc/rc.conf or is there something else I should be
trying. In the meantime, I'll continue to work on learning shell
scripting so that I can understand the scripts better.
Thank you,
Miles

P.S. I did send a message to the maintainer, however, have not heard
back in about 3 days and do not wish to pester him. He may never have
received the message or might be unavailable.
