running SPP on linux

[MMTwoo]

Dear all, 

While running hpsum for updating my servers I run into following problem: The engine shuts down while I'm using it (I manage to add one server at most but it seems to crash after a few moments)

I tried running it on a headless server (so only the engine running) or in a VM on my laptop but in both cases the service stops after a few moments. 

I don't get a real error message, it just states the following:

# ./hpsum
Copying hpsum files to /tmp/hpsum-08-07-14-10-05-45
hpsum_service_x86 started successfully on port 63001, ssl port 63002 and ftp port disabled.
Launching default web browser to HP SUM login URL:
http://localhost:63001/index.html?session_id=s581416235714&lang=en
Recommended minimum browsers: Firefox 17, Chrome 24
Waiting for engine to be shutdown...

#

Is there a log file I can check or something? 

Thanks in advance

This looks pretty normal so far:

(taken from my windows system)

hpsum_service_x64.exe started successfully on port 63001, ssl port 63002 and ftp
 port disabled.

Point your browser to an address like this:

http://localhost:63001/index.html

The message "Waiting for engine to be shutdown..." is normal.

But when the engine has shut down, I'm unable to work with the gui. The process just stops working while I am still using it.

Hello,

here are some tips.

first: reboot or kill the running hpsum processes. delete /tmp/localhpsum.

-run hpsum as su

-be sure to assign an ip to your network cards or hpsum won't work

-temp disable firewall or run hpsum --open-firewall

-there are some scripts in the same folder as hpsum that can help: "clean-cache" , "gatherlogs"

These tips didn't help but I was able to pinpoint the problem a bit more precise.

When I start the application, the browser opens. When I don't click the 'baseline library' the process keeps running. When I do click it, I get a progress bar (which is more filled when I wait longer) and the application crashes.

It seems the display of the progressbar causes the application to stop.
