Unless you installed the ldm as root (which we do *not* recommend), you should start the ldm as user 'ldm'. In the particular problem above, the ldm can't find pqbinstats is because the path for root doesn't include ~ldm/bin, but the path for user ldm probably does. > Nov 26 21:31:56 amelia[1457]: run_requester: Starting Up: > amelia.geol.iastate.edu > Nov 26 21:31:56 rpc.ldmd[1456]: execvp: pqact: No such file or directory Same problem here as above. > SIGCHLD > Nov 26 21:31:56 rpc.ldmd[1454]: bind: 388: Address already in use This implies that port 388 was not freed by the ldm, probably due to a previously unclean shutdown of the ldm. To free up the port, as root do 'rpcinfo -d 300029 5'. You may also need to do 'rpcinfo -d 300029 4' as well. > Nov 26 21:31:56 striker[1458]: run_requester: Starting Up: > striker.atmos.albany.edu > Nov 26 21:31:56 stokes[1459]: run_requester: Starting Up: stokes.metr.ou.edu > Nov 26 21:31:56 rpc.ldmd[1454]: Exiting > Nov 26 21:31:56 rpc.ldmd[1454]: Terminating process group > Nov 26 21:31:56 rpc.ldmd[1454]: child 1456 exited with status 127 > Nov 26 21:31:56 rpc.ldmd[1454]: child 1455 exited with status 127 > SIGTERM > SIGTERM > SIGTERM > Nov 26 21:32:53 rpc.ldmd[1454]: Interrupt Please try these things and let me know the outcome.
