don't forget INN .....
 

HI !

INN....

I configure the INN server in my computer.

I edit some script /etc/news/...

now ,i will start it

but ..

#/etc/rc.d/init.d/innd start
Please ren makehistory and /or makedbz before startind innd.

i can not start it .when i use this command ,it print this ...

why?
and how i do?

---------------

thank you!!

I meet the same problem, anyone can help us?

So what's wrong with ren... uh (pardon me) running makehistory and makedbz?

Take a look at this:
https://listman.redhat.com/archives/.../msg01806.html

I read somewhere that makedbz -i could help (maybe overwrites the old files, I don't know). Read the manpages. Make the database directory (/var/lib/news?) writable for the programs.

A pretty good looking FAQ:
