Description

Description:
After installing the GUI as part of the upgrade to version 21, we get a message "Library ABC01 is not defined on the server."

UTIL W/1/1 shows no server activity. There is no activity in the PC_server log but some of the other logs show errors--most of them show binding stream socket--address already in use.
 

Resolution

ls -lrt in $LOGDIR shows:

aleph@library(a21_1) ABC01> ls -lrt pc*
-rw-rw-r-- 1 aleph exlibris 0 Aug 7 10:31 pc_server_6991.log.0708.122752
-rw-rw-r-- 1 aleph exlibris 0 Aug 7 12:27 pc_server_6991.log.0708.1227

-rw-rw-r-- 1 aleph exlibris 0 Aug 7 14:41 pc_server_6991.log


and util w/3/4 (PC Server) shows:

| Port | Pid | Server Type | Started At | Status
|---------|---------|-----------------|-----------------|--------------------

Enter CR to continue...


This, in combination with "binding stream socket--address already in use" led me to this:

aleph@library(a21_1):~>ps -ef | grep 6991
aleph 3732 1 0 Apr04 ? 00:00:00 csh -f /exlibris/aleph/a21_1/aleph/proc/pc_server 6991

> ps -ef | grep server

shows other processes still running from April 04.

This is like KB's 16384-26706 and 4549.

You can do one of two things: 

1. kill all of these Apr04 processes individually and start the servers, or

2. reboot the server

The latter is probably better, since that may clean up other problem processes as well.

[From site: The reboot cleared up these problems.]
