Sorry, I had a problem with my last reply - here is the text: I ran into that problem as well, it turned out to be permissions (I assumed I had started zenoss as root at one point or another). Try chowning the zenoss directory structure so that your zenoss user owns it (ie. chown -R zenoss:zenoss /usr/local/zenoss)
I am not saying that will fix your problem, but that is what I had a problem with when I upgraded to 0.23 >>> On 11/6/2006 at 12:22 PM, in message <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, Todd Michael Hebert <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > This is the output after freshly doing a make clean and re-install. > > [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/zenoss-0.23.0$ $ZENHOME/bin/zenoss start > Daemon: zeoctl . . . . . . . . . . . daemon process started, pid=30376 > Daemon: zopectl . . . . . . . daemon process started, pid=30382 > Daemon: zenxevent starting... > Daemon: zenmodeler starting... > Daemon: zenperfsnmp starting... > Daemon: zenperfxmlrpc starting... > Daemon: zenprocess starting... > Daemon: zenping starting... > Daemon: zensyslog starting... > Daemon: zenstatus starting... > Daemon: zenactions starting... > Daemon: zentrap starting... > Daemon: zencommand starting... > [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/zenoss-0.23.0$ $ZENHOME/bin/zenoss status > Daemon: zeoctl program running; pid=30376 > Daemon: zopectl program running; pid=30382 > Daemon: zenxevent not running > Daemon: zenmodeler program running; pid=30401 > Daemon: zenperfsnmp program running; pid=30455 > Daemon: zenperfxmlrpc program running; pid=30464 > Daemon: zenprocess program running; pid=30471 > Daemon: zenping not running > Daemon: zensyslog program running; pid=30500 > Daemon: zenstatus not running > Daemon: zenactions not running > Daemon: zentrap not running > Daemon: zencommand program running; pid=30571 > [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/zenoss-0.23.0$ > > > > Todd Michael Hebert wrote: >> I had to change the owner & group of the installation files that I >> un-tarr'ed from 500:users to zenoss:zenoss. >> That made the install run. >> I still get a message about /usr/home/zenoss existing >> I am curious as to why it would try to remove $ZENHOME >> My $ZENHOME is a mounted share, and it would not be fun to have to >> unmount it, run the install, copy all the data and then re-mount it. :/ >> >> The install now start running, and appears to install everything.
