when ever i am giving the command service nfs restart in fedora14 iam getting the following
Shutting down NFS mountd: [FAILED]
Shutting down NFS daemon: [FAILED]
Shutting down NFS services: [ OK ]
Starting NFS services: [ OK ]
Starting NFS daemon: [FAILED]

and when typing the command service portmap restart in fedora 14 i am getting the following

[root@localhost ~]# serivce portmap restart
bash: serivce: command not found...
[root@localhost ~]# service portmap start
portmap: unrecognized service

when i tried this in redhat and centos it was working in my class room but when i am trying it in real time it is not working so what does it mean and how to resolve the issue , can anyone please help me in this regard.
thank you in advance

Post some log files and someone might be able to help you better.

Perhaps the last 10-15 lines in /var/log/messages after you try starting nfs

It's entirely possible that F14 defaults to NFSv4, in which case the other protcols are incorporated and not run separately. See this page for details of NFS v2,3,4 abilities/requirements http://www.linuxtopia.org/online_boo...l5_ch-nfs.html
