Already initial setup of IGN server fails

[Dolder Matthias]

ok, i'm new to this and that is what happened:
- platform: rx2600/2x73gb internal disk/4gb mem
- 11.23 (1205) EOE installed
- swinstall IGN V6.6 -> completes with no errors
- run /opt/ignite/bin/ignite -> get welcome screen
- run tutorial/demo, works fine
- click "Server Setup" -> wizard starts
- click through wizard -> instantly advances to next screens, also where "Choose Depot ...." options are
- wizard terminates with success message in its final screen -> but nothing has been setup
- in the xterm window from where 'ignite' was started I see the following error messages:
--ignite: Error: cannot find function ImgrServerSetupEntry.
--ignite: Error: cannot find function ImgrIPsetup.
--ignite: Error: cannot find function ImgrDHCPSetup.
--ignite: Error: cannot find function ImgrConfigDepotEntry.
--ignite: Error: cannot find function ImgrConfigDepotNext.

- I then did swremove IGN V6.6 and installed IGN 6.5 -> same problem
- Tried the same with V6.6 and V6.5 on a rx4640 also running 11.23 (1205) -> same problems

- also see attached screenshot from rx2600 (note: play with scale to get text readable)

thanks in advance for any hints

Hi Matthias,

--long shots--

check the xfs config file
# cat /etc/rc.config.d/xfs
RUN_X_FONT_SERVER=1

is the font server running?
# ps -ef | grep xfs

start the font server.
# /sbin/init.d/xfs start
--
check the installed ignite filesets. I'm using an older version so the name could have been changed.

# swlist -l product | grep -i ignite
# swlist -a state Ignite-UX

--
Check your PATH variable for /opt/ignite/bin

Hope this helps a bit.

Shalom MD,

I don't think the last post is a long shot. Try it, its a good idea. Also try and see if the results are the same for the command line.

swverify \*

The ignite download might be incomplete and need to be swremove d and swinstall ed.

Quick update for those being so kind trying to help me.
- Configured xfs -> no change, also still lots of font error messages
- Executed the swlist -a state and swverify commands -> both report everything ok
- Checked the /var/opt/ignite/logs/ignite file -> no error messages in there

So, I still get those "ignite: Error: cannot find function....." messages - what makes me wonder is that those don't show up in the log and that the configure wizard thinks that everything is ok by reporting success

Any more ideas are obviously more than welcome...

Apparently this is a known defect in Ignite C.6.5 and C.6.6, running the setup wizard on Itanium machine only.

Fixes:
- Try running the PA-Risc version of the wizard, here: /opt/ignite/binpa/ignite.11

- Next Ignite release, C.6.7, is supposed to have complete fix, but is not yet released, due Mar06

Exactly.
Both, 6.5 and 6.6 simply do not work on IA (server config wizard).
Quick check with PA version looks good, at least it fires up config screens.

Big thanks for the hint.

Initial setup of IG-UX (6.5, 6.6) on IA seems to work when running PA-binaries.

thx
