Hi Louis,
Well, that is some serious concealment right there:)
I am sorry - I guess my comprehension skills could use some improvement. I
admit that much:)
OK, I got the latest devel code, installed it per your procedure. It all
worked like a charm up until I actually attempted to launch it when I got
the following error messages (see at the bottom).
Meanwhile, the web-based configurator once again fails to see the processes
running, even httpd.admin, which makes no sense. As for the PID files we
got the following:
[root@pf1 run]# ls /usr/local/pf/var/run/*.pid
/usr/local/pf/var/run/carbon-cache.pid
/usr/local/pf/var/run/httpd.admin.pid
/usr/local/pf/var/run/memcached.pid
/usr/local/pf/var/run/pfdns.pid
/usr/local/pf/var/run/carbon-relay.pid
/usr/local/pf/var/run/httpd.graphite.pid
/usr/local/pf/var/run/pfconfig.pid
/usr/local/pf/var/run/pfmon.pid
/usr/local/pf/var/run/collectd.pid
/usr/local/pf/var/run/httpd.portal.pid
/usr/local/pf/var/run/pfdhcplistener_eth0.48.pid
/usr/local/pf/var/run/radiusd.pid
/usr/local/pf/var/run/dhcpd.pid
/usr/local/pf/var/run/httpd.webservices.pid
/usr/local/pf/var/run/pfdhcplistener_eth0.49.pid
/usr/local/pf/var/run/radsniff3.pid
/usr/local/pf/var/run/httpd.aaa.pid /usr/local/pf/var/run/iptables.pid
/usr/local/pf/var/run/pfdhcplistener_eth0.50.pid
/usr/local/pf/var/run/statsd.pid
[root@pf1 run]#
The processes seem to be running too.
Cheers,
Boris.
