Ah, during the install of the master you've "named" the slave server as
"129" instead of by it's short DNS name "rhslave". Re-run the
install_script on the master, and name the 'slave' server as 'rhslave'
(since that's what you called it). The slave install script looks for a
directory by that name. You could also try just renaming the '129'
directory to 'rhslave' on the slave machine befor erunning the
install_script again, but then the master server won't know about the
slave, and you'll have to correct that part by hand.
I think I'll be adding a bit more intelligence to the install_script in
the next release, so that it's a little more helpful in this area.
David.

RE: NetReg: Install_Script error on Slave box
I set up the one slave box during the install of the master NetReg server.
I made the master server the DHCP failover for the slave.
The following is the directory under ?SLAVE? that was created by the
script: /usr/local/src/netreg-2.0-beta1/SLAVE/129. This has a file
called ?settings? with what appears to be several variables for the slave
install_script. What file should the slave?s install script be looking
for that it says directory or file not found. I tarred the entire
directory and FTP?ed it to the slave where I un-compressed the directory
and ran the install_script.

Part of the "master" instalation process involves defining the
names/details of each of the slaves, so that the master can know about
it's "slaves".
This process creates some temporary configuration files in a subdirectory
of the install files.
When installing a "slave" server, it looks for these temporary files, so
it can find out information about it's "master", and basic environment
etc.
Your problem is that the the "slave" instalation is looking for these
files (that should have been created when you ran the install_script on
the master), and can't find them.
Possible solutions:
Did you define the slaves when installing the master?
Did you install the slaves from the same directory as the master? (either
by zipping up the netreg installation directory and copying to the slaves
then installing, or by using a NFS mounted directory from the server or
similar)

NetReg: Install_Script error on Slave box
Hello, I am having a little problem with the install script running on a
slave box.
Below is the complete script until it stops so you can see all the
answers.
Any ideas as to why it would think I am installing a Slave config on a
Master box?
------------------------------------------------------------------------
About to begin install of netreg.org (v2) please read the
"Netreg V2.0 Instalation and Administration Documentation"
and check you have installed the prerequisites before continuing :
IMPORTANT PREREQUISITES:
* quite a number of CPAN perl modules
* installed Apache2 webserver with mod_perl (tested with 2.0.45 and
1.99_08)
* installed version of the latest ISC version 3.x 'dhcpd' binary for your
platform
* installed oracle instalation is also required (postgresql is a
less-tested alternative)
* other requirements as mentioned in the documentation...
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Is this the registration server? (or is it a 'slave' dhcp/dns server?)
(Press one of):
[Y] or [enter] if it's the REGISTRATION server
[S] if it's just a slave dhcpd/dns server
[N] to abort this install entirely.
[Y]:
S
...SKIPPING
Installing server type SLAVE
------------------------------------------------------------------------
I have determined:
your IP as: "129.7.230.124"
your fully qualified DNS name as: "rhslave.netreg.uh.edu"
and short host name as: "rhslave"
(if any wrong, please abort, and check /etc/hosts file etc before
continuing)
Press a key ([enter] to use cached/default response): Y/y to continue, N/n
to abort entire script
default/cached: [Y]
...DONE
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Group 'netreg' already exists. Continuing.
Do you wish to customise the directories used in the instalation?
Skipping this section assumes all the default locations!
Press a key ([enter] to use cached/default response): Y/y to continue, S/s
to skip this section, N/n to abort entire script
default/cached: [Y]
Please confirm the following instalation path/s for your setup....
Press <enter> to accept default, or type alternate path to continue.
init.d install path [preferred: /etc/init.d/]:
default/cached: [/etc/init.d/]
bind-chroot install path [preferred: /usr/local/bind9/chroot/]:
default/cached: [/chroot/named/]
bin install path [preferred: /usr/local/bin/]:
default/cached: [/usr/local/bin/]
config install path [preferred: /etc/dhcpd/]:
default/cached: [/etc/dhcpd/]
sbin install path [preferred: /usr/local/sbin/]:
default/cached: [/usr/local/sbin/]
bind-conf install path [preferred: /chroot/named/etc/]:
default/cached: [/chroot/named/etc/]
...DONE
Do you wish to continue and create these directories ?
Press a key ([enter] to use cached/default response): Y/y to continue, S/s
to skip this section, N/n to abort entire script
default/cached: [Y]
------------------------------------------------------------------------
unable to open the setting file for this host - was it defined as being a
slave when the MASTER/registration server was setup/installed?: No such
file or directory
