Bug 150553 – ntlmaps dies at the first page

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED NEEDINFO

[Description Leo 2006-10-09 02:48:29 UTC]

Hi all,
I'm tring to use ntlmaps-0.9.9-r2 with the rc-update script...

the problem I'm experiencing is the following

if I run just ntlmaps as root everything is ok... it works great as proxy, and if I switch on the debug options the related files are created.

if I try to start it with "#/etc/init.d/ntlmaps start" the demon is started, but at the first page I try to see with the brawser it dies

if I modify the init script removing "--chuid ntlmaps" the proxy works, but no log are created... or I cannot find them... :-(

does anyone has the same problem? How to solve it?

Please check relevant files/directories permissions (/etc/ntlmaps/server.cfg must be readable and /var/log/ntlmaps along with its content must be writeable).

this are the permissions I have... :-(

they seem to me ok... maybe I'm wrong

Check also the permissions of the parent directories like this:
ls -ld /
ls -ld /var
ls -ld /var/log

I assume you had 700 mode on your root directory, therefore I close it as INVALID.

It is rude to ask for help then dissapear without telling us where was your problem. Please don't do it again!

volantino ~ # ls -ld /

volantino ~ # ls -ld /var/log/
drwxr-xr-x 14 root root 912 Oct 14 19:45 /var/log/

and I haven't answared before only beacuse I could not. I'm not used to act as you think.

OK, then this isn't it. The problem is I don't have a test environment because I don't have any Windows server.
Please see if the latest testing version (~x86) works for you.

Sorry... but in this day I was really busy with the end-dev :-\

the 0.9.9.6 version seems to work ... but it is still not logging in the /var/log/ntlmaps/ but in / 

any idea?
