It was a permissions problem. I solved it by running traffic_line as sudo.
-Dan -------- Original Message -------- Subject: Traffic Line Not Working for Me Date: Tue, 13 Dec 2011 21:39:56 +0000 From: Dan <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Hello, I am just getting started with Traffic Server. I installed it using these instructions: http://linuxpoison.blogspot.com/2011/07/installation-and-configuration-of.html (correcting the version number of course). It is working, butI don't think my installations is right. In particular, traffic_line doesn't seem to work: dan@scapps1:/usr/local/bin$ ./traffic_line -x error: the requested command failed dan@scapps1:/usr/local/bin$ dan@scapps1:/usr/local/bin$ ./traffic_line -r proxy.node.hostname ./traffic_line: Variable Not Found dan@scapps1:/usr/local/bin$ I notice that the documentation refers to a file: /etc/traffic_server I don't have such a file (or at least I didn't until I started experimenting with a file by that name it to see if I could fix my installation). I'm guessing that this is related to the traffic_line problem in some way. Also, I don't have seem to the start_traffic_server and stop_traffic_server scripts that the documentation refers to. I have been using: sudo trafficserver start and sudo trafficserver stop instead. I don't know if this could be causing the problem. The only errors in my logs are: traffic.out:[Dec 13 21:19:50.214] Manager {140623480710976} ERROR: [TrafficManager] ==> Cleaning up and reissuing signal #3 traffic.out:[Dec 13 21:19:50.214] Manager {140623480710976} ERROR: (last system error 2: No such file or directory) which seem to happen on each shutdown. I would greatly appreciate some advice on how to debug or fix my installations. Thank you very much. -Dan --
