i have goglobal ux version 2.1.4_716
it is not starting

nmrm4wtd,sys,root # /sbin/init.d/goglobalux start
INFORMATION: No server defined in /opt/graphon/etc/license_server.dat
Local license file /opt/graphon/etc/license.dat will be used
Starting the database: FAILED.
See /var//opt/graphon/log//gdbi.log for more information.
Starting the GraphOn Login Daemon: FAILED.
A likely cause is that another program is listening on TCP port 491 or
791. Look for the message "startup: unable to create any listening
sockets" in /var//opt/graphon/log//gold.log, then either free the TCP
ports 491 and 791 or specify a different value for GOLD_PORT and
GOLD_SSL_PORT in /opt/graphon/etc/goglobalux.

Another likely cause is that the gold daemon could not connect to the
database. Look for the message "startup: cannot open database" in
/var//opt/graphon/log//gold.log, then check
/var//opt/graphon/log//gdbi.log for suggestions.




then i look into the log file gdbi.log and i get


nmrm4wtd,sys,root # more /var//opt/graphon/log//gdbi.log

nmrm4wtd,sys,root # ./gdbi -dbuser goglobal -dbport 4491

a little help would be nice

Hi Leo,

I think I've had the same issue some ages ago when I installed the host on /opt instead of the default in /usr/local

Does your folder look like this ?
drwxr-xr-x 2 root sys 4096 Jul 21 2006 goglobal

You should try to go to the /opt directory as root and then try "chmod 755 graphon". (Non-recursive!)

I think it worked then.....
