Hi Eddie ,
Thanks for the detail info. I am sending all the things
that you had asked. Basically i have setup newsgroup for my internal
purpose. Solely for my office purposes. The different news group categories
that i have created are training, basics of java, advance java etc. My inn
version is inn-1.7.2-14 and i am running this on RedHat 5.2 pc. I installed
inn using the inn rpm that was available in the cd. When i initially
configured this , everything worked correct for me for three hours or so.
But after my newsgroup crashes and the port 119 not at all initializes.
That's why i get the following error when i try to stop the inn daemon.
No innd.pid file; did server die?
Can't send "shutdown" command (sendto failure) Connection refused.
innd innwatch
Moreover, i have tarred my whole /var/log/news directory so that you can
view my entire log file. I am attaching the newslog.tgz file along with
this mail.
Please help me out in this.
Looking forward your response
Regards
K.Deepak
