I am attempting to start up a very simple news server to do nothing more than receive a feed and drop it into a directory. To get the service up I installed cleanfeed-0.95.7b-12.noarch.rpm followed by inn-2.3.2-5.i386.rpm. This was all done as the root user. I then created an empty history database through the following commands:
su - news
cd /var/lib/news
touch history
makedbz -i
mv history.n.dir history.dir
mv history.n.hash history.hash
mv history.n.index history.index
I then updated my incoming.conf file appropriately and tried starting innd
from root:
/etc/rc.d/init.d/innd start
When I enter the various innd commands the following are the results:
#service innd stop ( no result)
#service innd restart
Stopping INNFeed service: [OK]
Starting INND system: [OK]
#service innd status
innd dead but subsys locked
innd is indeed dead, and I'm stuck at this point as to where to go from
here. Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks,
Dave
