Hey Michael,

 

Could you download https://github.com/ndt-project/ndt/raw/3.7/conf/ndt-init and copy it over /etc/init.d/ndt (make sure it’s still executable after doing so). It should start up on reboot.

 

Cheers,

Aaron

Ok, I see what’s going on (reproduced it locally). I’ll have a fix for you to test a little bit.

Cheers,

From what it looks like when restarting it on a reboot, fakewww just never actually starts after perfsonar boots up:

Stopping web100srv:                                        [  OK  ]
Stopping fakewww:                                          [FAILED]
Starting web100srv:                                        [  OK  ]
Starting fakewww:                                          [  OK  ]

Sure - what's the easiest way to get this over to you?  I've rebooted all of my perfsonar boxes multiple times and it happens every time so pretty easy to reproduce with a reboot.

Hey Michael,

Would it be possible to get the output from when NDT is initially started during boot?

Cheers,
Aaron

Thanks.  I was going to mention that running those steps fixed my issue as well, but when you reboot the issue comes back so on every reboot those steps need to be completed.

For me, I made a bash script that's run by rc.local upon reboot.  I'm running RC code though so I'm not certain this applies to the latest code available by yum.  Mine still says that NDT is not running but the NDT site still functions.

#!/bin/bash

service ndt stop
service httpd stop
service httpd start
service ndt start

And, yes, thank you guys very much.  :)

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.

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

Please advise.


Thanks,

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
