k3GIS 5 Report post Posted April 26, 2012 I followed through the forum and tried to setup retrospect client 7.6 in Centos 6.2. The files get installed but I get an error that the daemon could not start. I tried deleting the install and tried to install again but the same result. Is there a guide for RHEL which I can follow ? And is there any official documentation for installing and troubleshooting for RHEL. Any help appreciated. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

apitko 1 Report post Posted June 20, 2013 I have the only solution to this dilemma I run into everytime on all my Linux installs, mainly CentOS 6.x - I have tried everything but the only oslution to get this to work everytime is documented here: Using rpm to uninstall and erase any prior packages: # rpm -e retroclientLSB Version: :core-4.0-amd64:core-4.0-noarch MUST install this library: # yum install libgcc.i686 Loaded plugins: langpacks, presto, refresh-packagekitResolving Dependencies...Complete! Installing the client with rpm, install/print hash marks as package installs/verbose: # rpm -ihv linux_client-7_7_100.rpmPreparing... ########################################### [100%]1:retroclient ########################################### [100%]Installing Retrospect Client......Retrospect Client started successfully! # /usr/local/dantz/client/retrocplServer "xxx.xxx.xxx": Version 7.7.100 back up according to normal schedule currently on readonly is off exclude is off 0 connections, 0 authenticated # /sbin/chkconfig --add /etc/init.d/rcl then I run a process grep: #ps aux | grep retro* root 2677 0.0 0.0 118772 9476 ? Ssl Jun19 0:23 /usr/local/dantz/client/retroclient -daemon At some point during install, it will ask for the retrospect password, WRITE IT DOWN! And don't forget the most imoprtant piece, open up this port and add this to your iptables (remember to restart iptables # service iptables restart). retroclient listens on port 497: -A INPUT -p tcp -m state --state NEW -m tcp --dport 497 -j ACCEPT-A INPUT -p udp -m state --state NEW -m udp --dport 497 -j ACCEPT How come this info is absolutely nowhere to be found on this site?!? Now it is. Running beautifully! Anthony 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
