(forwarding for reference. In summary - monit needs to be compiled on amd64 for the patch to be effective. It fails when started from initscripts but works with manual start -- I'll await 4.8.1 before doing further investigations)
//Stefan ---------------------------- Original Message ---------------------------- Subject: Re: Bug#367341: monit failed to restart after upgrade From: "ngb" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Wed, May 17, 2006 10:12 To: "Stefan Alfredsson" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Stefan, thanks for that. I have build the source without any trouble (although it did ask me to install byacc and cdbs which monit didn't need before). However when installing it I got the following: ruby:/home/ngb/monit# dpkg -i monit_4.8-2_amd64.deb (Reading database ... 163511 files and directories currently installed.) Preparing to replace monit 1:4.7-1 (using monit_4.8-2_amd64.deb) ... Stopping daemon monitor: monit. Unpacking replacement monit ... Setting up monit (4.8-2) ... Starting daemon monitor: monitinvoke-rc.d: initscript monit, action "start" failed. dpkg: error processing monit (--install): subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1 Errors were encountered while processing: monit However running "monit -d 240" from the command line started it with no problems. ruby:/home/ngb/monit# monit -d 240 Starting monit daemon with http interface at [*:2812] and I can log onto the web page and see that everything is working. thanks again for your help. cheers, Neil
