Unable to start marionnet-daemon.byte

Hello.

Judging from the symptom I strongly suspect this problem has to do with a missing configuration file. Can you try copying the file etc/marionnet.conf into /etc/marionnet.conf, as root? If I'm right the bug is already fixed on Jean-Vincent's computer, but possibly not yet on the trunk and definitely not on a released tarball. Jean-Vincent is busy teaching now, but after he's back he should be able to tell you more.

In the mean time, could you please try re-executing the daemon after setting the environment variable OCAMLRUNPARAM to "b"?
You have to do this (as root):

export OCAMLRUNPARAM=b
marionnet-daemon.byte

That way the error message should mention a source file and line number; we're interested in knowing that in order to confirm.

Your question was perfectly clear. Thanks in advance,

Hi Luca,

thank you for you quick answer.

First, I realized that I have my marionnet.conf configuration file is located at /usr/local/share/marionnet/ directory. Anyway, I copied it into /etc/marionnet.conf but I still have to same error.

As you suggested, I updated the environment variable and this is the new ouput of marionnet-daemon.byte :

Fatal error: exception Not_found

Thank you again.

Oh, sorry. My bad. I wrote /etc/marionnet.conf when I should have written /etc/marionnet/marionnet.conf : you have to make a directory /etc/marionnet for copying the file into. Sorry for the noise.

Well, marionnet-daemon.ml:36 tries to access the configuration file:
 configuration#string "MARIONNET_SOCKET_NAME";;
so now I'm pretty sure the problem is that.

Of course this will be fixed in the next version, and copying marionnet.conf manually will not be needed any longer.

Can you please confirm that this workaround (copying the configuration file into /etc/marionnet/marionnet.conf) work?
Thanks,

Hi Luca,

this is perfect, it works!

Thank you again for you work (on marionnet obviously) and for helping me (and others) to resolve issues related to the tool.

Best regards.
