RE: {bb} Problem with Server not running the local tests

I'm as confused as Kimberly. Big Brother is divided into two separate pieces: the client and the server. Install them both (say in usr/local/bbserver and /usr/local/bbclient) and run them separately. By attempting to combine them you are going to cause yourself problems, and make your configuration unique such that others (us, for example ;-) won't be much help.

If I might ask, why would you want a distribution area for the server, anyway? It's designed so you only have to distribute the client.

Regards,

Charles

Also, I have just checked, all of the files in the server distribution from the etc directory that are not specific to the server (bbdef-server.sh for example) are identical to the client versions. I was pretty sure that was the case as that was one of the reasons why I did this in the first place.

When you run the server code on a box, what is responsible for kicking off the local tests ? If I can find that out then I will have something to go on. As I said there is a variable that is set in the bbrun.sh script but that seems to start them up according to the output but I can't find the bb-local.sh script running.

Cheers

Dave

I'm not entirely sure I followed that. You combined the etc folders for your server and client? Because that would most definitely screw it up... the server and the client need to be in separate directories and started out of those separate directories. Please correct me if I interpreted that wrong.

Guys,

I have an issue with the server component of big brother. All of the local tests show up purple. Even if I set the bblocal to TRUE in the runbb.sh script so that the local stuff runs explicitely it still doesn't work and the bblocal dies with no errors reported into BBOUT.

I am worried that I have inadvertantly screwed with the config because I have combined the etc directories from the client and the server into one area so that I can have the same distribution area for both server and client.

Anyone got any ideas ?

Cheers
