Start tentacle server with:

sudo service tentacle_serverd start

The Windows agent just uses the tentacle client that comes with the package.

Thank you for your reply but I still get

sudo: unable to execute /usr/local/bin/tentacle_server: Permission denied
Tentacle server could not be started.

Just a question, the user that you are using, have sudo privileges? That is, is in the /etc/sudoers file or is part of the admin group?

sudo service tentacle_serverd start ??, what’s this raul ?, avoid use of untested “shortcuts” in ubuntu please, if “service” is not properly installed probably this doesnt work and installer doesnt use this, at least if I dont remember well.

Just use the standard way:

1. Make sure your pandora user is working
2. Make sure /etc/init.d/tentacle_serverd is present and have the correct attributes.
3. Make yourself root and execute

  /etc/init.d/tentacle_serverd start

Should work on a standard ubuntu server with “pandora” user created.

😐 The service command is not proprietary, is installed with the sysvinit-utils package, and it’s available in ubuntu since, at least, 2007, it’s also known to be in other distros (Red Hat, Fedora, and CentOS, for example)

If the service command wasn’t installed, the error will be sudo: service: command not found.

I had the same error using /etc/init.d, anyways I was using the desktop version of ubuntu 9.10

I am just rebuilding it on a ubuntu server version… started a new post about pandora_server.conf not being created. Thank you.

You’re right, I’ve compared two versions of service command (Suse and Ubuntu) and it’s different code but the same mechanism, just “search” for the script in /etc/rcX.D directory and pass the status. stop or start parameter. As everyday, I have the oportunity to learn something new 😎
