[Serusers] SER won't start: can't find PID file

[Dave Bath]

Hey CJ,

This is probably an incorrect config file issue.  Start off by making
sure you delete /var/run/ser.pid then try 'serctl start'.  When you get
the error message, check your syslog (on redhat-based systems
/var/log/messages - you can make it easier by running '/var/log/messages
| tail' to see only the last 10 lines). With a bit of luck this will
point to which bit of your config is incorrect.

Hope it helps. Good luck!

Dave

Subject: [Serusers] SER won't start: can't find PID file

Greetings,

I'm having a problem I'm just can't seem to fix. I'm not a newbie to
Linux,
but by the same token, I'm not a GURU either. I'm trying to set up SER
and
so far everything is going according to plan, except for one little
problem.

 When trying to start SER I get the following message:

Starting SER: cat: /var/run/ser.pid: No such file or directory.

SO for fun I touched a file with that name in that directory to see what
would happen. I then get:

Starting SER: PID file exists! (/var/run/ser.pid) already running?

This is all obtained by running "serctl start". Prior to running I  ran
"ser
-ddd -P /var/run/ser.pid" then I run serctrl, but am left being stuck in
this situation. 

Your help would me be appreciated.

Cheers,
CJ
