Hi,

I installed sail with:

http://www.sailpbx.com/twiki/bin/view/Main/DocChapter03h


I would like to have provisioning but tftp is not running.

Code: [Select]

/etc/rc.d/init.d/tftpd restart

A 2nd Problem, I get this mail every minute:

Code: [Select]

Hi

There are a few extra rpms that need to go on.  They can all be found in the sail download directory

Code: [Select]

perl-Apache-Htpasswd-1.8-1.el5.rf.noarch.rpm
perl-DBD-SQLite-1.14-1.el5.rf.i386.rpm
perl-File-ReadBackwards-1.04-1.2.el4.rf.noarch.rpm
perl-IO-Interface-1.04-1.el5.rf.i386.rpm
perl-IO-Socket-Multicast-1.12-1.rhel5.i386.rpm]

These all need to be installed before V3 will work correctly.  Looks like we missed this in the wiki so please accept my apologies and I'll get it fixed asap.

Kind Regards

Is this a new sme install? 

We don't actually do anything with tftp other than to create an entry in hosts.allow and to start/stop it.

From the error messages it looks like there may be a problem with /etc/xinetd.d/tftp.  In nay event that is where I would look first.

Hi

I figured out what this is.  It would seem that there was a change sometime in SME 8 with regard to whether or not the IPv6 modules get loaded.  In the 8b7 installs I have done, they don't.  If they aren't present then tftp will fail with the messages you show above.  This seems to be an oversight or perhaps a bug in the tftp-server code for 0.49-2.  Whatever the reason, it doesn't work.  You can fix it by removing a couple of lines from /etc/modprobe.conf.  Either comment them out or delete them.

Code: [Select]

alias ipv6 off
options ipv6 disable=1reboot

alternatively (thanks compsos) you can add the switch  --ipv4 to the tftp start in tftpd

Code: [Select]

daemon /usr/sbin/in.tftpd -l --ipv4 -v -v -p -s /tftpboot

With either of these changes, tftp will behave itself and do what it does best.  Of course, this "fix" may break something else that I'm unaware of so YMMV

Best

Hi,

At the moment I use sail-3.1.1-4 and tftpboot is working for me, thanks ...

[SARK devs]

I have implemented compsos' fix into smesailenv-1.0.0-30.  You can install this onto any 3.1.x sail system and it will fix the TFTP start problem. 

Kind Regards
