[Spacewalk-list] osa-dispatcher problems. no system ever reports

[Stefan Bluhm]

Hi Joshua,

thanks for this. Unfortunately, this didn't quite help.

I restarted a couple of times and now I get two new error messages on stop:
Stopping sm:                                               [FAILED]
Stopping c2s:                                              [FAILED]

and still the same error on starting. Also the new DB is not recreated.

So i recreated the db folder (mkdir /var/lib/jabberd/db; chmod 
jabberd:jabberd /var/lib/jabberd/db) and restarted. Now the DB files are 
also recreated.
Another restart and now I keep getting:
Stopping c2s:                                              [  OK  ]
Stopping s2s:                                              [  OK  ]

Yay, one problem fixed. But still, I get the same error on starting:
Starting osa-dispatcher:

I remember at some point, there was a patch inserted in the previous 
digests but I think this patch is already part of the nightly build.

Any other ideas how i could find the problem?

Thanks for your commitment,

Stefan
