Topic: AWSTATS - Backup2WS - Owner and Group errors in log.

[AndyCocker]

Hi,

Just checked my Backup2WS logs, and seen this (just a sample.. there was lots more.. all from AWSTATS directory):

Code: [Select]

Not sure if log has always said this... only recently checked it. Seems to be to do with ownership of files... something I don't quite understand as yet.

When I do ls -al I get this

The 1007 and 513 files seem to be the ones that are not getting backed up.

I installed AWSTATS using this script:

Code: [Select]

http://sme.swerts-knudsen.dk/downloads/AwStats/install_awstats.sh

Anyone know how to fix it? I don't want to make changes here without understanding what/why I'm doing.

I am on 6.01 with yum updates.

All the best,

Andy Cocker

do a chown root.www * looks like it incorrect owner and group not set maybe you restored these?! or something in that script didn't set these?!

I don't know how to directly contact Darrell.. PM is disabled on this board, and I can't find his email address anywhere. Also, I am running 6.01, so I don't understand your comment about the SME7 wiki. If I've misunderstood, please point me in the right direction.

It seems the problem I reported only occurs when I do a manual 911 backup. Last nights' scheduled 911 passed without a hitch.

I have a quick question about upgrading the Backup2WS RPM, and possibly RPM's in general.

I have installed

Code: [Select]

smeserver-backup2ws-0.0.1-22dmay.noarch.rpm which is not the most recent version. I notice that there is a version called

Code: [Select]

smeserver-backup2ws-0.0.1-31dmay.noarch.rpm available on dmay's SME7 contrib section. I think that I should update this before reporting the error further.

Is it OK to simply install the new RPM over the top of the old one(bearing in mind I'm on 6.01 and this RPM is in the SME 7  folder - there doesn't seem to be one specific to SME 6 anymore)? Will the RPM basically handle the uninstall if required, and does this generally apply to all RPM's

Thanks,

Andy Cocker

You can contact Darrell over at www.myezserver.com

Also as long as you do rpm -Uvh that will upgrade the package

[AndyCocker]

Thanks Byte.

Sorry for long post, but I'm getting into difficulties with packages and the use of rpm and yum. I'm listing everything I did.
I had

Code: [Select]

smeserver-backup2ws-0.0.1-22dmay.noarch.rpm installed.
I used wget to download

Code: [Select]

smeserver-backup2ws-0.0.1-31dmay.noarch.rpm.
I used

Code: [Select]

rpm -Uvh smeserver-backup2ws-0.0.1-31dmay.noarch.rpm and got the following

Code: [Select]

error: failed dependencies:
        rar >= 3.5.1 is needed by smeserver-backup2ws-0.0.1-31dmay

As I have

Code: [Select]

rar-3.1.0-1dmc.i386.rpm installed, I downloaded

Code: [Select]

rar-3.5.1-7dmay.i386.rpm
and did

Code: [Select]

rpm -Uvh rar-3.5.1-7dmay.i386.rpm and got

Code: [Select]

error: failed dependencies:
        libgcc_s.so.1   is needed by rar-3.5.1-7dmay
        libgcc_s.so.1(GCC_3.0)   is needed by rar-3.5.1-7dmay
        libgcc_s.so.1(GLIBC_2.0)   is needed by rar-3.5.1-7dmay
        libstdc++.so.5   is needed by rar-3.5.1-7dmay
        libstdc++.so.5(CXXABI_1.2)   is needed by rar-3.5.1-7dmay
        libstdc++.so.5(GLIBCPP_3.2)   is needed by rar-3.5.1-7dmay
        smeserver-release >= 7.0 is needed by rar-3.5.1-7dmay
Is this version only for SME 7? I am on 6.01, but there is no SME 6 related version on dmay's site.

At this point I remembered someone saying something about always installing via YUM as it handles the dependencies (correct?), so I tried

Code: [Select]

yum install smeserver-backup2ws-0.0.1-31dmay.noarch.rpm and got

Code: [Select]

Gathering package information from servers
Getting headers from: SME Server 6.0.1 os
Getting headers from: SME Server 6.0.1 updates
Getting headers from: SME Server 6.x base updates
Finding updated packages
Downloading needed headers
No Packages Available for Update or Install
No actions to take


Now however, if I do

Code: [Select]

rpm -qv sme* I get

Code: [Select]

package smeserver-backup2ws-0.0.1-31dmay.noarch.rpm is not installed


Doing

Code: [Select]

rpm -qa I get

Code: [Select]

<snip>
smeserver-backup2ws-0.0.1-22dmay
<snip>

Backup2WS still seems to be functional, but it's obviously not installed the new version. What worries me is that it doesn't list the old version when I do

Code: [Select]

rpm -qv sme*, only tells me that the later version is not installed.

What should I do? Thanks.

Andy,

IIRC this smeserver-backup2ws-0.0.1-31dmay.noarch.rpm backwords compatible with 6.0.X

What I would do is issue a rpm -e the old packages first...

Ok now make sure you have...

smeserver-backup2ws-0.0.1-31dmay.noarch.rpm
rar-3.5.1-1dmay.i386.rpm (this is version needed for 6.0.X)

before you install do... if you still require libstdc++ do a

yum -y install libstdc++

HTH

[AndyCocker]

Byte,

Ok, dunno how I missed the rar-3.5.1-1dmay.i386.rpm in dmays SME6 folder. What a dummy I am!

Anyway, did as you suggested.

Code: [Select]

rpm -e smeserver-backup2ws-0.0.1-22dmay.noarch.rpm
told me it wasn't installed.

Code: [Select]

rpm -e smeserver-backup2ws-0.0.1-31dmay.noarch.rpm
also told me it wasn't installed!

Successfully removed my previous version of RAR and installed new one.

Reinstalled both packages with

Code: [Select]

rpm -Uvh rar-3.5.1-1dmay.i386.rpm
rpm -Uvh smeserver-backup2ws-0.0.1-31dmay.noarch.rpm
Should I have used yum?
Everything appeared fine.

Tested Backup2WS 911 manual job, and worked OK.

Only one thing still bothering me.

Code: [Select]

rpm -qv smeserver-backup2ws-0.0.1-31dmay.noarch.rpm
and

Code: [Select]

rpm -qv rar-3.5.1-1dmay.i386.rpm
tells me that both packages are not installed!!

Am I doing something wrong? Is rpm -qv the correct command to query package installation?

Andy

[byte]

Code:
rpm -e smeserver-backup2ws-0.0.1-22dmay.noarch.rpm

told me it wasn't installed.

you need to use...

rpm -e smeserver-backup2ws-0.0.1-22dmay

That will uninstall it never put the version number on when you uninstall a rpm  otherwise it will not find it as you said, the same will be for the rar rpm to

[AndyCocker]

Byte,

It makes sense now. Using the proper syntax shows that the correct versions of backup2ws and rar are installed, even though I didn't actually uninstall the earlier versions.

Thanks for taking the time to explain that to me.

Learning more everyday  

All the best,

Andy
