RE: Upgrading a running 1.1.1 installation?

... and to answer my own stupid question: Don't get all excited and stop
reading the announcement at the release notes link. Proceed calmly to the
bottom of the message first and be certain to observe the included
directions.

Subject: [opennms-install] Upgrading a running 1.1.1 installation?

 Could someone please post the recipe to upgrade a running installation of
OpenNMS that was originally installed using  the 'lynx -source
http://install.opennms.org | sh' web installer?

 There is a remark in the user docs about upgrading using apt-get, but it
seems to imply having used apt-get for the initial install.

Thanks in advance.
k.

Yes. OpenNMS will die after several hours of operation because sockets  
do not get closed.

Postgres Error during install

Installed the all the requirements, but when I run the installer I get the following error on postgres.  I have started postgres and adjusted the config file according to the install docs, but I get the error on a fresh Red Hat 9 system.


==============================================================================

OpenNMS Installer Version 0.6 (Revision 1)

==============================================================================

Configures PostgreSQL tables, users, and other miscellaneous settings.

DBI connect('dbname=template1','postgres',...) failed: FATAL: IDENT authentication failed for user "postgres" at /opt/OpenNMS/bin/install.pl line 390

*** Unable to connect to the database!! ***

Be sure PostgreSQL is started and running correctly

before running this install script!

FATAL: IDENT authentication failed for user "postgres"

- adding OpenNMS init... * using 'opennms' as the PostgreSQL user for OpenNMS

* using 'opennms' as the PostgreSQL password for OpenNMS

* using 'opennms' as the PostgreSQL database name for OpenNMS

* I am being called from an RPM install

- reading table definitions... OK

- Searching for OpenNMS directory... /opt/OpenNMS

? what is the name of a user who can create new users in the database? [postgres]

? what is postgres's password (if any)? [none]

done

categories calculating...

Hello,
we're running opennms 1.1.1 on Suse8.2
everything is running fine except the display of the categories on the
mainpage. on clicking on one of the categories it claims that there are
not categories - on examening the nodes http, ftp... is displayed.

in web.log the StandardWrapperValve[jsp]: Servlet.service/( for servlet
jsp threw exception ... JasperException: Could not find the network
interface category.

on a previous installation on the same box with same versions this problem
did't occur.

anyone a idea?

thx in advance!

bx!

root.source he**

When I do a opennms.sh status I'm receiving the following output:

./opennms.sh: line 25: ${root.source}/dist/logs/opennms.pid: bad 
substitution
OpenNMS is not running.

I know Opennms should not be running but where is the bad substitution 
error coming from?  Line 25 in opennms.sh is :

ulimit -n 10240

------
After checking the logs it seems that {root.source}/dist is scattered 
throughout the distribution.  Not knowing which might be used and which 
isn't used I'll edited them all...
But
Why did this happen?  I did a build.sh docs, build.sh all, build.sh 
install <-- my guess.  It installed in a dist directory under the source 
directory.  I then copied all the files to the correct locations and 
edit the etc directory to reflect a local include file.  

I noticed a OPENNMS_HOME  _PID and _LOGFILE are these not used (other 
than locally within the file)?  

I know I must have missed a readme somewhere.  Can someone point me in 
the right direction.  

Thanks
Wes Hall

Please read the release notes or the FAQ:

http://www.opennms.org/users/docs/docs/html/release-1.1.2.html

The changes you need to make to postgres are at the bottom.

This usually means you have an error in one of your configuration files.

1) cd $OPENNMS_HOME/logs
2) grep -i fatal *
3) grep -i error * | grep -v Snmp

I'm not sure what happened, but the build should replace "root.source"  
with the value in build.properties. Change it to point to the correct  
path and you should be set.

Thanks,  replacing all the root.source/dist instances seems to have 
worked.  Everything appears to be running.  

Thanks for the NMS, you guys are great.

webGUI running without opennms

Hi,
how do I recognize, that all processes of opennms are not running while
being on the GUI?
Problem: i've been logged in and brought the system into trouble. as a
result of this (think so) opennms died (rip ;) and my GUI was running
fine. finally as i rescanned a node it became obviously that there is
something wrong.
in my case it have been just a few minutes - but in case it takes longer
to recognize it - is there a mechanism/possibilty to kill the GUI or post
a status flag on the GUI?

thx

bx!
