From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.72 [en] (Win95; I) Description of problem: Vanilla RH7.1 install. Trying to start innd with service innd start. Won't work, says "run makehistory and/or makedbz". Tried that with several variations - doesn't work. Bugzilla bug 27421 won't fix this. How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Vanilla 7.1 install 2.service innd start 3. Actual Results: Please run makehistory and/or makedbz before starting innd. Expected Results: INN started Additional info: Only on RH7.1. RH7.0 is not affected. Temporary workaround is to install INN from RH7.0
Have the same problem. Need Help
Additional update: I followed the instructions in the NEWS file for makehistory and makedbz and inn will now start.
INN is now much more flexable on how news articels can be stored and before starting a news-server you have to change the configuration for this. Please look into the news file for more information. Thanks, Florian La Roche
Could there be some more info on getting this to work. An example?
Doing the following solved my startup problem: edit /etc/news/inn.conf: changed organization added pathhost: localhost touch /var/lib/news/history makedbz -i cd /var/lib/news mv history.n.dir history.dir mv history.n.hash history.hash mv history.n.index history.index chmod 664 history.*
chown news.news history*
