tftp Error code 2: Access violation

[Russ Hancock_1]

Please help? This is doing my head in!

I'm new to ignite, and I appear to be having problems getting the client to connect to the ignite server via tftp. I've searched the forums and tried most things suggested , Is there something I've missed?

I get to the point of the install where you initiate the build from the server.

Thanks in advance.
Russ.

PROBLEM
I am running TFTP (Trivial File Transfer Protocol) on my HP-UX 11.0
system. Upon using the 'put' operation I get the following error:

error code 2 access violation with tftp

How can I resolve this error?


CONFIGURATION
Operating System - HP-UX
Version - 11.0
Subsystem - System Administration

RESOLUTION
In this particular case the 'tftp' files are corrupt. The following
patches resolve the error:

PHNE_18377 ftpd
PHNE_20008 ARPA
PHNE_20735 Stream


These patches, as with any patches, may be superseded. Please
check for the latest patches at the Electronic Support Center
(ESC) by using either of these web sites:

http://us-support.external.hp.com

http://europe-support.external.hp.com


This error may also be caused by a file already existing on the
target system. The permissions on this file were such that 'tftp'
could not overwrite the file. If this condition exists, then try
this suggested approach:

1. Move the file to another name.

2. Create a new file name with the touch command.

3. Give the new file the following:

permissions 600
owner tftp
group guest

Hi,

Do you use the latest version of Ignite ?
If not this could be a better approach !

First try to restart the tftp daemon.
This sometimes helps.

else download the latest version from here:

Hi,

just wanted to add my bit as this problem had my head wrecked for ages:

Firstly the *.cfg file that tftp is trying to grab is located in /archive/B.11.00 on your server. You need to add this path to the /etc/inetd.conf under the tftp section.

when you've done this type inetd -c to re-read the contents of this file and update the path.

Restart ignite and try again.

Good Luck!

Nick.

Thanks Nick, this was causing the problem.

guys theys easiest way to update tftp with a new directory is:

/usr/sbin/setup_tftp

example:
you just added a new build for ignite Ux, and you its a 11.i build with oracle 9.1

/myigniebuilds/9000/800/Rel_B.11.11

then run this line to configure tftp

/usr/sbin/setup_tftp /myignitebuilds/9000/800/Rel_B.11.11


setup_tftp will add the correct entry in /etc/inetd.conf and run inetd -c
