Hi Oliver,

Glad you have everything running smoothly.

Regarding the ftp installation, personally, I use pro-ftpd or vsftpd

If you choose the first one, just apt-get install proftpd then /etc/init.d/proftpd start and you’re done.
On the other hand if you decide to choose vsftpd you have to edit vsftpd.conf to allow local system users to be able to write in their directories (by default vsftpd is configured to run as an anonymous)

It’s up to you, Pandora, actually doesn’t mind which one to use.

All the best
Manuel

HAHAHA

I’m not having much luck. Proftpd installed. I can log on to the pandora server via ftp from the test windows box using the pandora username/password (password is correct in the windows agent config).

However, when I start the windows agent, within about 10 seconds, windows reports that it has crashed and offers to check the internet for a solution.

With debugging turned on (or off for that matter), the windows agent log just shows this;

01-07-08 16:19:13: Pandora agent started

Anything else I can try to get the agent working ?

Check IP and directory. Check manually that using FTP client you actually could UPLOAD something.

Will do. But shouldnt the client also work in debug mode, which doesnt attempt to upload anything? In debug mode it just crashes without creating any xml in the temp folder.

Yep, in the debug mode the agent runs normally but it doesn’t send the XML to the server.
Are you running the last version of the windows agent?
Damn, windows agent is always getting people into troubles 🙁

I downloaded it on Monday evening from the pandora site if that helps.
