Institution: Wright-Weather Package Version: 6 Operating System: Linux Red Hat 9 Hardware Information: Dell Power Edge 1750 Inquiry: I have tried several times to install version 6 of the LDM on this computer. It compiles well but when I start it I get the following error: Jan 10 00:02:13 www rpc.ldmd[2139]: Starting Up (version: 6.0.14; built: Jan 9 2004 23:50:53) Jan 10 00:02:13 www rpc.ldmd[2139]: Version 6 LDM already running on local host Jan 10 00:02:13 www rpc.ldmd[2139]: Version 5 LDM already running on local host Jan 10 00:02:13 www rpc.ldmd[2139]: Terminating process group [wxp@wxserver3 logs]$ There are no other LDM processes running. I rebooted the computer and reinstalled the LDM with the same result. Any suggestions? I have installed LDM 6 on other machines with no problems.

Also after I try and start the LDM 300029 is not listed. The ldm log just says Version 6 LDM already registered running on local host and Version 5 LDM already running on local host Terminating process group. Any ideas. I have reinstalled LDM several times and rebooted the computer several times as well with no luck.

I had an error in the /etc/hosts file. Once I corrected it, it is working fine again. Thanks!

Are you having issues with settings in /etc/hosts and/or /etc/sysconfig/network ? http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/projects/coohl/mhonarc/MailArchives/ldm/msg05538.html What do the aforementioned files have in them?
