Hi All, On to the next issue I seem to be having! Can someone please take a look for me.
svc:/network/adminserver:default (Sun Java System Administration Server) State: maintenance since Tue Sep 19 16:52:55 2006 Reason: Start method failed repeatedly, last exited with status 1. See: http://sun.com/msg/SMF-8000-KS See: /var/svc/log/network-adminserver:default.log Impact: This service is not running. # more /var/svc/log/network-adminserver:default.log [ Sep 19 15:30:32 Enabled. ] [ Sep 19 15:30:32 Rereading configuration. ] [ Sep 19 15:30:46 Rereading configuration. ] [ Sep 19 16:52:55 Executing start method ("/var/Sun/mps/start-admin") ] SunONE-WebServer-Enterprise/6.0SP3 B05/19/2004 05:32 failure: could not log PID to PidLog /var/Sun/mps/admin-serv/logs/pid (Permission denied) [ Sep 19 16:52:55 Method "start" exited with status 1 ] [ Sep 19 16:52:55 Executing start method ("/var/Sun/mps/start-admin") ] SunONE-WebServer-Enterprise/6.0SP3 B05/19/2004 05:32 failure: could not log PID to PidLog /var/Sun/mps/admin-serv/logs/pid (Permission denied) [ Sep 19 16:52:55 Method "start" exited with status 1 ] [ Sep 19 16:52:55 Executing start method ("/var/Sun/mps/start-admin") ] SunONE-WebServer-Enterprise/6.0SP3 B05/19/2004 05:32 failure: could not log PID to PidLog /var/Sun/mps/admin-serv/logs/pid (Permission denied) [ Sep 19 16:52:55 Method "start" exited with status 1 ] [ Sep 22 14:57:33 Rereading configuration. ] [ Sep 22 15:28:51 Rereading configuration. ] [ Sep 22 15:30:07 Rereading configuration. ] I can start and stop this manually i.e /var/Sun/mps/start-admin and /var/Sun/mps/stop-admin using the "dsadmin" user. I can also write to the directory: /var/Sun/mps/admin-serv/logs/ >From the error log, I obviously I have a permissions problem. The following is from my directory.xml file. <method_credential user="dsadmin" group="dsadmin" privileges="basic,-proc_info,-file_link_any,net_privaddr,sys_resource"/> </method_context> Does this look OK? What I also see is the following: $ pwd /var/Sun/mps/admin-serv/logs $ ls -l total 10 -rw-r--r-- 1 dsadmin dsadmin 479 Sep 22 15:54 access -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 5 Sep 22 15:30 admin.pid -rw-r--r-- 1 dsadmin dsadmin 2873 Sep 22 15:55 error As you can see the admin.pid is owned by root! Please let me know if you need the directory.xml file Many thanks. -- Best regards -Michael Sun Microsystems, Inc.
