Okay folks, here's one I can't solve no matter what. I've even used a kazillion search engines to locate a hint.

I downloaded and built Xitami 2.5b4 using their build script. The server runs flawlessly if I do switch to the directory for it and run:

xitami -s

I read everything I could about starting it up, replacing apache's start up config in /etc/init.d and /etc/rc2.d with my own.

When I use init or reboot, the error comes up, "command not found".

It's installed in /xitami - xitami in /etc/init.d is simply:

cd /xitami
xitami -s

The symbolic link in /etc/init.d/rc2.d for /etc/init.d/xitami is S95xitami (instead of S91).

What am I doing wrong and how can I fix this? I really don't want to log in and start it manually each time!

TIA

Ugly directory , usually you put this into /usr/local/xitami or /opt/xitami. But that shouldn't be the reason why it is not working.
Just a guess, the program you want to start is /xitami/xitami, and on bootup you do not have . (the current directory) in your $PATH (which you really never should have but today most distributions put it that way ). So try to change your startscript to include the path to the binary:

Actually, I have it installed in both /xitami and /usr/local/xitami, but yes, that wouldn't make a difference.

I'm at work, and the machine's at home, so I can't try your suggestion of using ./xitami right now... but I believe I tried it once, the first time I built it. Umm perhaps not. I'll try it again when I get home.

I just got home, made the change....

Guess what?

It worked!!!!
