Make sure "dowalk" and "search" exist in /home/1702/domains/wahiduddin.net/html/webinator

The program directory where I unzipped and installed Webinator is:

/home/1702/etc/webinator_dir

I see files named dowalk, search2 and search4 in the directory at:

/home/1702/etc/webinator_dir/webinator

And, I also see dowalk, search and search4 in the directory at:

/home/1702/etc/webinator_dir/texis/scripts/webinator

Which dowalk and search are you referring to?

Then, should I add symlinks in my html directory to those files, or copy them to the html directory, or are they in the wrong place and I should actually move them to the html directory?

When I previously installed Webinator on RedHat, I don't recall having to put copies of the scripts in my html directory. Is this needed because of the setuid changes?

Sorry, I had a brain fart, scripts/webinator is the correct place. Check the webinator_dir/texis.cnf to ensure that the scriptroot points to /home/1702/etc/webinator_dir/texis/scripts

For some reason, the texis.cnf began with these lines:

[Texis]
CGI Debug=1
ScriptRoot=%DOCUMENT_ROOT%
[Texis]
ScriptRoot=%DOCUMENT_ROOT%

I commented out all of those lines, and uncommented the line

ScriptRoot = %INSTALLDIR%/texis/scripts

Now it is up and running perfectly. Thank you for your kind guidance!

Probably from an aborted install.

ok... So, just in case there was anything else messed up from an aborted install, I completely deleted the entire directory that had all of the webinator files, created a new directory, and did a clean install (with the install modified not to setuid).

I worked perfectly. I set up a couple of profiles, indexed my web site with each of the profiles, got all of the walk settings and search settings tweaked. I did a number of searches via html forms, and everything was working flawlessly.

But now, about six hours later, I tried to do another search and all I get is:

Texis Web Script (Vortex) Copyright © 1996-2006 Thunderstone - EPI, Inc.
Unknown Version 5.01.1162154767 20061029 (i686-unknown-linux2.4.9-64-32)

Error
011 Texis Monitor process failed to create license segment
000 Cannot get config settings

I haven't changed anything since the time that it was working. It just seems to have "died".

I checked the texis.cnf file and even uncommented the path for the license, but all I get is that same error message.

Here's the vortex log:

Any ideas??

p.s.

The monitor log has not had any entries in the past 6 hours, and doesn' tseem to offer any clues:

ahh.. the monitor log had some binary characters that my editor was choking on.. here is the current tail of the monitor log.

When I run ipcs -a , there are no shared memory segments at all. I know there were two shared memory segments right after the install.. but they're gone now. So something killed my shared memory. Is there any way other than a re-install to re-establish the shared memory allocations?

Post by **mark** » Thu Nov 23, 2006 10:26 am

Sounds like maybe the webserver is running CGI programs as a different user than you did the install as?

As for the license shared mem segment disappearing you'll need to consult your system admin because it should stay around forever until deleted by hand.

From the shell try running
INSTALLDIR/bin/texis -license
to see if that helps at all.

rjshelq · Post by **rjshelq** » Thu Nov 23, 2006 11:52 am

Running

INSTALLDIR/bin/texis -license

did create the two shared memory segments. But I'm still unable to run a search via the web or login to admin (both of which worked perfectly before the mysterious disappearance of the shared memory segments).

Here's the result of /bin/texis -license

But the monitor log still says:

200 2006-11-23 08:13:09 (16802) Texis Monitor exiting due to error

The new shared memory segments now have different pid and different shmid than what the program originally created.. is there a way to tell Webinator about the current shared memory?
