Hi Mary, re: > Thank you for letting me know you received my message this morning. > Please note I sent a similar message last week to the following > address: > > address@hidden > > and did not get such a ticket response. Perhaps this is the wrong > address to use? We did not receive a message from you last week. We (Steve Emmerson, and I checked our spam boxes to make sure that your message was not inadvertantly deep-sixed, but we found nothing. So, the first I knew of your problem was this morning. Immediately after seeing your message this morning I logged onto aeolus as 'ldm' and tried starting the LDM. As with you, I was unable to do this. I took a look at the LDM log file: <as 'ldm'> cd ~ldm less logs/ldmd.log and saw that there was a typo in ~ldm/etc/ldmd.conf on line 56: Aug 11 16:33:12 aeolus rpc.ldmd[5837] ERROR: String too long Aug 11 16:33:12 aeolus rpc.ldmd[5837] ERROR: Invalid feedtype expression "AN" near l ine 56, file "/home/ldm/etc/ldmd.conf": unknown feed name in feedtype expression Aug 11 16:33:12 aeolus rpc.ldmd[5837] NOTE: Terminating process group The typo was the inclusion of a '"' (shifted quote) in the middle of 'ANY' in an 'allow' statement. I corrected the typo and then started the LDM with no problems. > Thanks again! No worries.
