  • Starting the Pandora server

    Posted by Lord Kendji on March 29, 2010 at 12:28

    Hi,

    I have a new problem, it seems that I can’t get the server to start, I got the console up and running.

    I try to follow the Pandora 3.0 Documentation:Installing, but when I enter “/etc/init.d/pandora_server start” in my Ubuntu Terminal.
    I get this when I try the command:
    :~# /etc/init.d/pandora_server start

      can you put /var/log/pandora/pandora_server.error & pandora_server.log?

      with the few words you say, we can’t get a track of the problem.

      Did you installed the io perl module?

      apt-get install libio-socket-multicast-perl ??

      Wow…Thats a problem with the installer.

      Try to install from a “physical drive” that sometimes happen when try to install from a mapped drive or network source.

      Anyway, over what windows version are you installing the agent ?

      WinXPHome and Win7Enterprise(does not display the error message, though refuses to work in the same manner

      EDIT: Gives the same error though I launch it from “physical drive” (desktop).

      Agent won’t work on Windows 7 (not yet), in XP should work fine, do you have install permissions ?, try to install under Administrator account.

      Anyway there is a “manual” installation method provided in documentacion:

      a) Copy all contents of the agent (take from a currently working windows agent).
      b) Install the service witn pandoraagent.exe –install (use –help to see other options).

      I hope this helps to install your agent in the XP box.
