perfSONAR User Q&A and Other Discussion

Group,

     In case others run into the same problem I had after the auto-updates this weekend.  After the NDT updates were applied, my local services page showed NDT "Not Running".  The service had been running on Friday (albeit with the older, broken NDT). 

     I tried going to the "Enabled Services" page and simply clicking "Save" to restart all of the running services, but this had no affect.  NDT was still stuck in a "Not Running" state.  I finally took a cue from the announcement email sent over the weekend and restarted the services by hand.  I first ran "service ndt restart" and then "service httpd restart" on each of the affected boxes, and everything returned to normal, and our boxes are now running the updated version. 

Thanks to the development team for what appears to be a much improved NDT.

Hey Roderick,

That error shouldn’t be a problem. I’ll put a fix in to avoid it in the future though.

Cheers,

Aaron

Hi Aaron

I got this error on two of our servers (the rest worked fine):

Non-fatal POSTIN scriptlet failure in rpm package ndt-server-3.7.0-8.el6.x86_64
web100srv is stopped
fakewww is stopped
chown: cannot access `/var/log/ndt/fakewww*log': No such file or directory
warning: %post(ndt-server-3.7.0-8.el6.x86_64) scriptlet failed, exit status 1

Please advise.

Thanks,

Roderick

Hi All,

We would like to announce the availability of NDT version 3.7.0 This is a major new release, that contains, among other things:

 - Adds support for Java 8 to the java client
 - Adds a WebSockets-based client, allowing modern web browsers to perform NDT tests without requiring the use of any plugins
 - Includes a substantially redesign of the Web GUI
 - Support for using Apache instead of ‘fakewww’

 - Improves the security of fakewww for those who still use it

A source tarball is available at http://software.internet2.edu/sources/ndt/ndt-3.7.0.tar.gz

You can find RPMs at the Internet2 RPM repository at http://software.internet2.edu/ . Existing users that have auto-updates configured should download the changes in the next 24 hours. Those without auto-updates can run 'yum update' by hand to get the latest version. To use Apache instead of fakewww, install the package ‘ndt-server-apache’ using yum, and run “service ndt restart” and “service httpd restart”.

Thanks again to all our testers and those that provided feedback.

If you have any questions or concerns, please direct them to

Cheers,

Aaron
