bryantfp Posted September 26, 2012 Report Share Posted September 26, 2012 Hi, I posted this on StackOverflow and the resolution was that this may be an issue for support which lead me to here. My question: I just installed PlasticSCM under CentOS 5. Everything, including dependencies, installed nice and clean looking on the server but the software refuses to launch and will not write any log file contents at all. When running PlasticSCM, I use this command: "./plasticsd start" About a minute passes and then it responds: Starting PlasticSCM server: Unable to start PlasticSCM server. PleaseFAILED a look at the plastic.server.log file, placed in the plastic server location, for more details. The system will not write any log data. FWIW, I did the exact same install on a CentOS 6 system and everything is running flawlessly. I can't see any differences between the two so that makes this extra perplexing for me. Additional testing on the CentOS 5 system running (as root) "./plasticd --console" and "./plasticd --daemon" launches the server fine from the shell and produce log output, but running the script still just fails (with the strange failure message and no logging data). Additionally, if I get the server running by one of the two methods above and then try to launch the daemon script in a seperate shell, I still get the exact same failure message in that shell. I do not get a notice that the server is already running. Any help would be greatfully appricated. Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manu Posted September 26, 2012 Report Share Posted September 26, 2012 Hello bryantfp, I would be happy to connect with you and debug your issue. Can you please tell me your timezone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bryantfp Posted September 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 27, 2012 I'm in MST-7, although I don't keep regular hours. I tend to be working late evenings with this project. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manu Posted September 28, 2012 Report Share Posted September 28, 2012 Wow MST-7? That's 16 hours. We are in Spain. Can you please confirm if at least the "mono plasticd.exe --console" command is working for you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manu Posted September 28, 2012 Report Share Posted September 28, 2012 It's MST-7 or Only MST?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bryantfp Posted September 29, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 29, 2012 "mono plasticd.exe --console" appeared to launch: Creating ServerSink Creating ServerSink Plastic SCM daemon up. 4.1.10.341 778 ms startup time But I can't connect to it with the client, so it would appear that it isn't really working? The log is working though and showing tons of errors. It was working when I ran it with "./plasticd --console" though (in fact, I just tried that again and it works). So basically, it launches but fails to work if I launch it via mono. (I'm in Phoenix, AZ, USA. MST without the -7 is probably more correct, for whatever reason that's how I've always seen it, shrugh) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bryantfp Posted October 2, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 2, 2012 I'm all over the place, for instance, I just got to working on this today as I'm writing this. What were you looking to do that was time dependent? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manu Posted October 2, 2012 Report Share Posted October 2, 2012 I just wanted to take a look into the installation to perform support movements faster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bryantfp Posted October 10, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 10, 2012 Ahh... well the system is located behind a firewall so I don't have any way to provide external access. :/ In an effort to help move things along here though, is there any data I can provide to help sort this out?

manu Posted October 10, 2012 Report Share Posted October 10, 2012 Ok, do you have that CentOS iso? Can you tell me if you downloaded it from somewhere? I want to test it. There's obviously an issue with the script, can you confirm me, or not, that as root running "./plasticd --console" the server starts and the client can connect with it?

bryantfp Posted October 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 11, 2012 Well, I believe the original install was Centos 5.5 from an ISO downloaded directly from Cent (likely the torrent mirror). I don't have the raw ISO still as I committed it to a Disc and that is what I have on hand. Since then it has been fully updated via Yum to the most recent versions of everything so it would not necessarily reflect the original ISO state at this point anyways. Yes, it's clearly a script issue, and I think at this point the break is clearly occuring related to the launching via Mono (confirmed in my mind by your test above where we tried to launch it through Mono and it failed) as it never even get's past that part of the script to even get to the script code that checks to see if the daemon is already running. As for root running "./plasticd --console". Yes I can confirm that this does in deed work. The server functions and handles client as I would expect. It also appears to work correctly with root running "./plasticd --daemon" (for what it's worth). Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manu Posted October 16, 2012 Report Share Posted October 16, 2012 Ok, definitely it's a scrip issue. Maybe we can chop it and get the thing we need, what do you think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
