Hi Leonard, re: > Sorry to have trouble with this, but I'm not able to get LDM 6.10.1 > going using a CentOS 6 system here in HAO, which we haven't used before. > It doesn't log. I've looked in the support archive, and I seem to have > everything set up right. The typical things to look at WRT LDM logging on Linux systems are: - SELINUX setting The setting in /etc/selinux/config should be: SELINUX=disabled NB: - there should be only one uncommented entry for SELINUX in the config file - the machine typically needs to be rebooted after the SELINUX is changed - check the ownership of the LDM log file; it should be owned by the user running the LDM (e.g., 'ldm'), not 'root' - if the two items above all look correct, I would rebuild and reinstall your LDM: <as 'ldm'> cd ~ldm/ldm-6.10.1/src make distclean ./configure && make install If logging is still not working after addressing the items above, please send us the output from: uname -a printenv ls -alt ~ldm re: > It pqact doesn't get files out of the product-queue, although I > can get to them with pqcat, but I'll get to that after I get logging > going. I have never seen this situation. Are you sure that you are looking in the correct output directory for your 'pqact' instance(s)? re: > [ldm6@mlsodata ~]$ tail -3 /etc/rsyslog.conf > > # Unidata LDM: > local0.* /home/ldm/logs/ldmd.log > > [ldm6@mlsodata ~]$ hupsyslog > [ldm6@mlsodata ~]$ > > [ldm6@mlsodata ~]$ logger -p local0.debug "test of LDM logging using logger" > [ldm6@mlsodata ~]$ > > [ldm6@mlsodata ~]$ regutil /log > /log/count : 7 > /log/file : /export/data1/Data/ldm-tmp/logs/ldmd.log > /log/rotate : 1 > [ldm6@mlsodata ~]$ > > [ldm6@mlsodata ~]$ ls -l /export/data1/Data/ldm-tmp/logs/ldmd.log > -rw-rw-r--. 1 ldm6 cordyn 0 May 25 10:01 > /export/data1/Data/ldm-tmp/logs/ldmd.log > [ldm6@mlsodata ~]$ Check /etc/selinux/config. re: > This is a new downstream LDM server for us.

OK. re: > The root portion of the install went normally and worked on rsyslog > on the CentOS 5 system and syslog on the CentOS 6 system. 'syslog' on CentOS 6, not 'rsyslog'? I run LDM 6.10.1 under CentOS 6.2 x86_64, and the system logging daemon is 'rsyslogd'.
