Re: Red Hat DSS install trouble



I'll try that but I'm running out of time here today, east coast. I've been examining the scripts. I found one interesting thing so far, running perl -wcT broadcaster_lib.pl returns this;
Can't locate Foundation.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.0/i686-linux /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.0 /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0/i686-linux /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0 /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl) at broadcaster_lib.pl line 4.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at broadcaster_lib.pl line 4


I didn't have the foundation module installed. (it wasn't installed doing the default install when I updated to Perl 5.8.0 yesterday) I installed it, but it installs as foundation.pm, of course Linux is case sensitive so broadcaster_lib.pl still failed. I changed the name to Foundation.pm and then broadcaster_lib.pl compiled ok. The GUI still doesn't work though so there must be other issues. It's also worth noting that examining the Install script I see that it is running a Perl test which I'm passing through OK, even before I updated to Perl 5.8.0.

The fields/info which are missing or messed up (such as Started Dec 1969...) are all obtained by the Streaming Web Admin sending rtsp "admin protocol" requests to the streaming server, so it appears that the problem that you're experiencing may have less to do with the Perl script, and more to do with your /usr/local/sbin/DarwinStreamingServer sending back bogus information.

Try this, as the root user, see if you can stream RTSP content from your streaming server:

   root# /usr/local/sbin/DarwinStreamingServer -d -S 3

(where -d means debug, stay attached to the current shell, and -S 3 means print a connected user status line every 3 seconds)

Now, open up an RTSP url from a QuickTime Player, targetting one of the sample movie URL's off your server. Does this stream at all? Are there any asserts, or crashes logged in > /var/streaming/logs/errors.log?

I deleted all files associated with DSS. I reinstalled, which went without error from the Install script. I killed the streamingadminserver.pl and all instances of DSS. I started streamingadminserver.pl in debug mode (-d). I went to myserver:1220 and was presented with the screen to enter a password for MP3 broadcast (I entered and repeated a pw), then ssl toggle (left unchecked), then media directory (it was blank, I entered /usr/local/movies), then port 80 toggle (left unchecked). Then I was presented with what I think is the home page, the button in the upper left is labeled Stop Server and next to it is "Server is Starting Up". The table looks like this;

Server:

Status:
Started Wed, 31. Dec 1969 19:00:00

Current Time On Server:
Wed, 31. Dec 1969 19:00:00

Up Time:

DNS Name (default):

Server Version:
.c

Server API Version:
0.0

CPU Load:
0.00%

Current # of Connections:

Current Throughput:
bps

Total Bytes Served:

Total Connections Served:

So it looks like the script isn't talking to the server because the Server field is blank, and the dates are set at the Linux base date.

I went to the Playlist and clicked on New MP3 Playlist and got
Error - Perl execution failed

No errors were reported in the terminal displaying streamingserveradmin debug.

I think it's also interesting that I've never been prompted for the admin name/password.

This is quite a mystery. There's really nothing unusual about my Linux server. It's serving up webpages, about 20,000 yesterday, handling company e-mail. I can access the server using webmin, which I guess is sort of analogous to streamingserveradmin being a Perl-based server GUI, and that is all functioning normally.

OK, try this:

Kill off the currently running Perl/streamingadminserver.pl process.

Then as the root user, from the command-line, try starting the Streaming Web Admin in debug (-d) mode:

   root# perl /usr/local/sbin/streamingadminserver.pl -d

Do you get any errors? Try using a web browser to access the Streaming Web Admin (over port 1220), and watch the terminal that is running streamingadminserver.pl -d. Do you see any errors displayed/printed when using the web admin from a browser?

Updating perl to 5.8.0 didn't fix.

What version of Perl do you have installed? On RH Linux 7.x, I've used and tested DSS 4.1.3.c with Perl v5.8.0, and it worked fine.
