Client 9.5 don´t start on Ubuntu 12.04 x64

[GunterR]

Hi together,

 

i have install a new Retrospect Client 9.5 on a Ubuntu x64 12.04 server.

the server have two network cards and i start the rcl script with this option:

CLIENTDIR=/usr/local/retrospect/client
case $1 in
    start)
    $CLIENTDIR/retroclient -ip 192.168.221.82
    # $CLIENTDIR/retroclient &
    ;;
    stop)
    $CLIENTDIR/retrocpl -stop
    ;;
    status)
    $CLIENTDIR/retrocpl
    ;;
    *)
    echo "Usage: $0 {start|stop|status}"
    ;;
esac
exit 0
 

But if i start the /etc/init.d/rcl start, i get this error:

netEnumInterfaces: error invalid ip address specified 192.168.221.82:0
 

What is wrong?

 

Best regards

But if i start the /etc/init.d/rcl start, i get this error:

netEnumInterfaces: error invalid ip address specified 192.168.221.82:0

 

The :0 at the end suggests to me that it is trying to communicate using IP Port 0 which is not a usable port.

 

$CLIENTDIR/retroclient -ip 192.168.221.82

Try changing the IP address to 192.168.221.82:497. Port 497 is the IANA assigned port used by Retrospect. (I've never used Retrospect on Linux and my Linux knowledge is limited so this is just speculation.)

Thanks Scillonian,

 

but if i change the startup script to "192.168.221.82:497" i get this error

 

netEnumInterfaces: error invalid ip address specified 255.255.255.255:0

Okay, the solution is

apt-get install libc6-i386

 

the entry: $CLIENTDIR/retroclient -ip 192.168.221.82

in the rcl script can be deleted.
