[Solved] (Database) Problems starting pandora server

[motzilla]

I'm having an issue starting the pandora server, running it on ubuntu 10.04. I thought I had all the dependencies installed but I'm unsure of how to check.

here's my console log and error files.

Console:

Code:

administrator@sdsrv05-linux:~$ sudo /etc/init.d/pandora_server status
Pandora FMS Server is not running.
administrator@sdsrv05-linux:~$ sudo /etc/init.d/pandora_server start

nevermind, got it worked out. I'll post my fix in case others have the same issue.


Apparently I never updated my dbase password in my pandora_server.conf as stated in this post:

i also had to run thi found on the faq page.

Can't locate PandoraFMS/DB.pm on Debian after install Pandora FMS 3.0

A: It seems to be a problem detecting the perl version to solve it just copy it, for example:

# cp /usr/local/share/perl/5.10.0 /usr/local/share/perl/5.10.1 -R
