RPC: Program not registered

I am issueing the showmount command and get the error "RPC: Program not registered". What can I do to get this program to work.

Thanks in advance.

I suspect that the mountd (rpc.mountd) daemons are not running on the server. verify by doing a ps -ef | grep mountd if you do not get anything back then you would have to start the rpc processes for nfs:

/sbin/init.d/nfs.server start
then run
rpcinfo -p
this should list all the rpc programs and their corresponding details... if you see entries for mountd and nfs then you are fine.

To make the above permanent, you will have to edit the /etc/rc.config.d/nfsconf and set the variables NFS_SERVER=1 and NFS_CLIENT=1

good luck.

I'll bet you NFS server daemons are not running.

cd /sbin/init.d
./nfs.server stop
./nfs.server start

You might also check the settings in /etc/rc.config.d/nfsconf before you restart.

Hi Amal

Check for the daemons whther they are running or not .

ps -ef | grep mountd

Incase they are not running :
cd /sbin/init.d

./nfs.server start

ps -ef | grep mountd , this should make the rpc run. And also to make is permanent edit it in the /etc/rc.config.f/nfsconf .
