  • running INN from source in non standard directory

    So I am running INN from a directory /news The prefix for the install is
    /news. When ever I try to start the server or reload it I get a error
    saying. No INN.pid file did server die? How would I start or run this
    from a directory wear everything is self contained in a single directory?

    Hi Seth,

    So I am running INN from a directory /news The prefix for the install is /news. When ever I try to start the server or reload it I get a error
    saying. No INN.pid file did server die? How would I start or run this
    from a directory wear everything is self contained in a single directory?

    Does the /news/tmp directory exist?
    Is /news/tmp the value of the pathtmp parameter in inn.conf?
    Are the rights correctly set for allowing the news user and the news
    group to write to /news/tmp?

    Is /news/run the value of the pathrun parameter in inn.conf?
