params problem in startscript

[spas]

hi,

i unpacked the server into
/usr/local/tss2/

if i start the server manualy in this dir with ./server_linux
everything wents ok

if i run the server on boot with /etc/init.d/tss
(the minimal startscript) the users that is registerd and the webadmin aren't working

the userproblem is fixed by starting the server with the param
-db=$path2dbfile

now i thought the webadmin prob would be fixed with

-httpdocs=$path2httpddir
but i was wrong

i get the error msg
/usr/local/tss2/httpdocs no such file or dir

but the directory is exactly there

do i use the parameter wrong
will the parameter fix my problem
or is there another way to fix it

my version is 2.0.18.32 Linux (i know OLD :)

excuse my bad english

Hi!

Use a final slash in the path. It might help!

-httpdocs=/usr/local/tss/httpdocs/

"no such file or directory"

What happens, I think, is the code always expects to be in the /root/ of the TSS directory, and fouls up paths.

What you could try is having a shell script in the root of your TSS directory which executes tss_minimal, and then from init.d execute the shell script.

or, you could just leave all those files in that cosy little directory, then you can just start it without any params :P

thx

i wrote a script that change dir to /usr/local/tss2/
and the runs the local ./tss start (minimal)

now it works perfektly

only disadvantage, now i have du restart my ts with

/user/local/tss2/tss restart

not /etc/init.d/tss restart like all the other programms :(

but this is ok i think ;0)

big thx

your now happy spas

PS is know i can edit the script, that i could restart the tss from /etc/init.d/tss restart

but i can life with this ;)

Yea, what you should be able to do is have a check in the script to see if TSS is running (ps -ax | grep server_linux)... if not, then just start, or if it is running (but maybe defunct) -> restart.

Dangerous!

"ps -ax|grep server_linux|grep -v grep > /dev/null" would be better, otherwise "grep" would find itself!
Or check for extisence of the PID file!
