rsyncd not starting : Missing or wrong pid file in /ffp/etc/rsyncd.con

Hello,

I'm new to DNS-323 hacking. I'm trying to set up a DNS-323 as a rsync server to backup my linux PC.
After following this tuto: http://bernaerts.dyndns.org/linux/178-dns323-funplug, I'm always getting the following error when I try to start rsyncd:
Error: Missing or wrong pid file in /ffp/etc/rsyncd.conf (expected: /var/run/rsyncd.pid)

Does anyone have an idea of what I could have made wrong ?

Thanks

This might be the small bug in the /ffp/start/rsync.sh script that does not remove the space around the filename. So you can either correct that with a sed sentence piped to the test of the pid filename in rsyncd.sh (the better way), or you can do the lazy way by removing any space between the "=" sign and the <filename> in your /ffp/etc/rsyncd.conf on the line "pid file=<your filename>"

If that isn't the problem, then check the permissions on the directory, path and file in question.

3 * (DNS-323 with 2 * 2TB) = 12TB Running FW v1.08 & FFP v0.5

Re: rsyncd not starting : Missing or wrong pid file in /ffp/etc/rsyncd.con

Hi all,

Thanks for your answers.
I checked the rsyncd.sh script: it does not contain spaces around the rsyncd.pid filename.
To be sure, I added a sed test to remove spaces.
I also (for test purpose) modified the /var/run permissions to 777, made an empty /var/run/rsyncd.pid file with 666 permissions, I always have the same error message.

Any other idea ?

Try another location such as /tmp

Re: rsyncd not starting : Missing or wrong pid file in /ffp/etc/rsyncd.con

When you manually remove the pid file and start rsyncd (as root) does this work ?

Yes. I initially thought it did not work (as I don't see any rsync line with psaux), but if I try to make a rsync test, it works.
It works when I launch rsync without giving it a pid file nor a log file name.
So, this is a first step ahead, what do you suggest now ?
I rebooted my DNS-323, re started a rsync copy, and it seems it also works.
But when I launch the /ffp/start/rsyncd.sh status command, I get: rsyncd not running !
I don't understand ...
And I don't see any rsyncd.pid file where it is expected to be (/var/run/rsyncd.pid)

Re: rsyncd not starting : Missing or wrong pid file in /ffp/etc/rsyncd.con

What does your rsyncd.sh file look like?

Code:

#!/ffp/bin/sh

# PROVIDE: rsyncd
# REQUIRE: LOGIN

. /ffp/etc/ffp.subr

name="rsyncd"
command="/ffp/bin/rsync"
rsync_flags="--ipv4 --daemon --config=/ffp/etc/rsyncd.conf"
required_files="/ffp/etc/rsyncd.conf"

run_rc_command "$1"

rsyncd.conf

Code:

hosts allow = 192.168.1.0/24
log file = /mnt/usb/logs/rsyncd.log
uid = root
gid = root
read only = no
[archive]
path = /mnt/HD_a2/Archive
[root]
path = /

rsync --version

Code:

rsync  version 3.0.9  protocol version 30

Re: rsyncd not starting : Missing or wrong pid file in /ffp/etc/rsyncd.con

Hi,

Here is my rsyncd.sh :

Code:

#!/ffp/bin/sh

# PROVIDE: rsyncd
# REQUIRE: LOGIN

# This script assumes that the rsync configuration includes
# pid file = /var/run/rsyncd.pid

conf_file=/ffp/etc/rsyncd.conf
# Ligne suivante modifiee le 04/02/2013
pid_file=/var/run/rsyncd.pid
#pid_file=/tmp/rsynd.pid

rsync_flags="--daemon --ipv4 --config=$conf_file"

rsyncd_start()
{
        if [ ! -r "$conf_file" ]; then
                echo "Error: Missing config file $conf_file"
                exit 1
        fi

        x=$(grep '^pid file' $conf_file | cut -d= -f2 | sed -e 's/^[[:space:]]//g')
        if [ "$x" != "$pid_file" ]; then
                echo "Error: Missing or wrong pid file in $conf_file (expected: $pid_file)"
                exit 1
        fi

        echo "Starting /ffp/bin/rsync $rsync_flags"
        /ffp/bin/rsync $rsync_flags
}

rsyncd_stop()
{
        if [ -r "$pid_file" ]; then
                kill $(cat $pid_file) 2>/dev/null
        fi
}

rsyncd_status()
{
        if [ -r $pid_file ]; then
                rsync_pid=$(cat $pid_file)
                if pidof rsync | grep -wq $rsync_pid; then
                        echo "rsyncd running: $rsync_pid"
                else
                        echo "rsync not running ($pid_file stale)"
                fi
        else
                echo "rsyncd not running"
        fi
}

case "$1" in
        start)
                rsyncd_start
                ;;
        stop)
                rsyncd_stop
                ;;
        restart)
                rsyncd_stop
                sleep 1
                rsyncd_start
                ;;
        status)
                rsyncd_status
                ;;
        *)
                echo "Usage: $(basename $0) start|stop|restart|status"
                exit 1
                ;;
esac

My rsyncd.conf file:

Code:

uid = 0
gid = 0

max connections = 4
log file = /var/log/rsyncd.log

[sync_test]
        path = /Volume_1/sync_test
        read only = no
        list = yes
        auth users = alain
        secrets file = /ffp/etc/rsyncd.secrets
        strict mode = yes

And my rsync version:

rsync --version

Re: rsyncd not starting : Missing or wrong pid file in /ffp/etc/rsyncd.con

Back to my previous question : when I asked for "manual" launch, I mean starting not rsyncd from command line but rsyncd.sh script from command line, what happen ? does the process run ? Otherwise, if you try to do daemonize rsyncd, in the script, what happens ?

Re: rsyncd not starting : Missing or wrong pid file in /ffp/etc/rsyncd.con

That's precisely what I did first: I always got the following error:

maybe you can try to modified /ffp/etc/rsyncd.conf in order to link pid to an other folder (/var/run is read only).
for example : /ffp/var/run/rsyncd.pid.

Thanks for your idea, but I got he same result !

It seems I miss something ...

Re: rsyncd not starting : Missing or wrong pid file in /ffp/etc/rsyncd.con

Did you try using my rsyncd.sh file listed above? It ignores all the pid file stuff. (I don't have a pid file - but rsync shows in the list of running processes 'ps -ef')
