Posted by stellingwerf-college on May 20, 2008 at 16:02hello fellow pandora user’s,
I downloaded the following VMware image:
PandoraFMS 1.3.1
Ubuntu8.04 server
a week ago. so far its the best freeware monitor tool I have seen and I’m very excited to implant this app, But at the moment I’m stuck :(.
and hoping you guys can help me out.tentacle server wont start for some reason, when I start up the server it comes whit the following error:
[code:1][err] cannot read /dev/null: permission denied
Tentacle server could not be started
* running local boot script (etc/rc.local)In the file:
/usr/share/pandora/util/tentacle_serverdI changed the TENTACLE_ADDR= to my server ip.
Furthermore the sendmail isnt working, how can i configure sendmail under ubuntu to use my internal mail server as relay?
Thanks in advance,
Pieter Koppert

Hi,
hello fellow pandora user’s,
I downloaded the following VMware image:

Ubuntu8.04 server
a week ago. so far its the best freeware monitor tool I have seen and I’m very excited to implant this app, But at the moment I’m stuck :(.

[code:1][err] cannot read /dev/null: permission denied
Tentacle server could not be started
* running local boot script (etc/rc.local)Sounds like /dev/null was created with the wrong permissions. Could you run the following commands as root and tell us if tentacle_serverd goes up? Thanks!
[code:1]
chmod 666 /dev/null
/etc/init.d/tentacle_serverd startIn the file:
/usr/share/pandora/util/tentacle_serverdI changed the TENTACLE_ADDR= to my server ip.
Make changes to /etc/init.d/tentacle_serverd instead, this is the one that gets called at startup :).
Furthermore the sendmail isnt working, how can i configure sendmail under ubuntu to use my internal mail server as relay?
Thanks in advance,

Thanks,
chmod 666 /dev/null
/etc/init.d/tentacle_serverd startNow the tentacle service started, but still not at boot.If i run chmod after booting again its starting correctly again.
That problem with /dev/null is weird, must be an udev issue. As a workaround you could try editing /etc/init.d/tentacle_serverd and inserting the line:
[code:1]
chmod 666 /dev/nullbefore the call to sudo. I am not sure when /dev/null permissions get changed, but it could work 🙂
Furthermore i now edited the /etc/init.d/tentacle_serverd 😉

Thanks for the input!
Your workaround helped, i figured out the source of the problem.
My eth0 device was not working in the vmware image. The pandora wiki stated that i should run sudo rm /etc/udev/rules.d/*.*
Unfortenatly that also removes the file where the /dev/null rights get set at boot.executing only sudo rm /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persisent-net.rules is sufficient. To solve eth0 problem.
Is it possible to add this to the wiki?Regards,
Pieter
