Hi Krisna, > My name is Krisna, I am new to LDM, and trying to setup a server to get > the GOES East GeoColor imagery. > > So far I have setup EC2 server using Ubuntu 18.04 64bit, and allow incoming > TCP connection from port 388. > > I have followed all the steps in your documentation in this link > https://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/ldm/ldm-current/basics/ on installing > from the source code. > > And I manage to install LDM using below configurations: > ./configure --disable-root-actions --with-ulog --disable-max-size > --with-noaaport --with-gribinsert CPPFLAGS=-UNDEBUG >configure.log 2>&1 Unless you have a good reason for using the system logging daemon, I recommend not using the "--with-ulog" option. Because you're installing from scratch, I wouldn't use the "--disable-max-size" option. Because you're not ingesting from a NOAAPort reception dish, you don't need the "--with-noaaport" option. Because you're not generating LDM data-products from NCEP model output, you don't need the "--with-gribinsert" option. Finally, the "CPPFLAGS=-UNDEBUG" option won't do anything -- so you can leave it out. So, I recommend re-building and re-installing the LDM package like this: make distclean ./configure --disable-root-actions >configure.log 2>&1 && echo Configured make install >install.log 2>&1 && echo Installed sudo make root-actions The last step is absolutely necessary. > make install >make.log 2>&1 > --- > > Then as for the testing purpose I have followed some example setup from > this link : > https://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/ldm/ldm-current/workshop/specifics.html#profile > > But when I tried to run LDM using ldmadmin start, I get this error message: > ldm@ip-172-31-43-25:~$ ldmadmin start > Checking the product-queue... > Checking pqact(1) configuration-file(s)... > /home/ldm/etc/pqact.conf: syntactically correct > hupsyslog: kill -HUP 750: Permission denied > new_log(): Couldn't refresh LDM logging > start_ldm(): Couldn't rotate log files > > Could you please help me with this issue?
