Hi Brian,
The problem you reported is not the problem I saw on nexraditr.iihr.uiowa.edu. Instead, I saw this: 

[ldm@nexraditr ldm]$ hupsyslog
hupsyslog: kill -HUP 4800: Permission denied
This is because of a missing step in the build process, a step you must do as root. That is, 

[root@nexraditr src]# make install_setuids

which I did.  Now, when I run ./ldm-6.2.0/bin/hupsyslog it works fine.
You, however, have a nonstandard installation. Instead of runtime being a pointer to ldm-6.2.0, it is a separate directory. And, that runtime/bin/hupsyslog doesn't have the permissions set right and will give you the error above.
I suggest you standardize the installation - it will make your life easier. Take a look at the installation on ldm.iihr.uiowa.edu. (It's my recollection that I changed that installation from something like what you have on your new machine to what's there now, the standard installation.) I think if you standardize the installation then when you follow the installation instructions it should all just work.
Give that a try and let me know if you have any problems. I'm happy to help you accomplish that.

Actually it is on another new server that I am setting up.  If you want
to take a look at it, it is nexraditr.iihr.uiowa.edu

Use the same username and password you use for the other ldm server.

Hi Brian,
Are you talking about ldm.iihr? If so, I just went to that machine and saw what would cause that problem.
On your system the file that hupsyslog is looking for is /var/run/syslogd.pid. A short, easy fix to that problem is to create a sym link from /var/run/syslog.pid to /var/run/syslogd.pid. I just did that, and ran hupsyslog as user 'ldm' and it seemed to work fine.
I will ask the LDM maintainer (STeve Emmerson) about your situation. I'm not sure why configure didn't figure out the right file name for that host - that may be a bug. So, I'll pursue that here, but in the mean time I think you're set to go.

I am setting up an new LDM server for Anton and I got an error when starting it that says: 

hupsyslog: couldn't open /var/run/syslog.pid
I did a search, but couldn't find anything about that error. Do you have any ideas? 



Brian
