Re: [cobalt-users] Meta-Verify Errors - URGENT

Ryan,

Quickly looking at the meta-verify program, it grabs the information
from several locations to rebuild the database.  And I admit that I
really do not know too much about programming aspects of some of these
files but it seems that since the information is there that maybe
something simple is being missed.

----
Maybe you did not login as ROOT before you ran the meta-verify program?
1) login as admin
Then use "su -" to login as root
2) su -    
3) {enter password again}

Then try meta-verify again.

------
Maybe you can retrace recent changes that you made.  For example . . . 
When did you start having problems? Did you work on a system file but
rebooted recently? Have you recently edited httpd.conf?  If so, maybe
you can backup the current file and see if there is a backup.  Either
way, it should look like this when you run "ls -la" from the command
prompt.
-rw-r--r--   1 root     root     SIZE DATE TIME   httpd.conf

I am thinking that maybe the meta-verify program is not able to output
the database to the file and that the permissions need to be changed? 
Or you are not logged in as ROOT?

-----
You can restart by running the restart program for the httpd.conf  file
by:
1.  cd /etc/rc.d/init.d
2.  ./httpd restart



I hope that this helps.
