Re: New LDM server

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.
