Correcting Installation Problems

Problems with NIS

SoftBench requires that an entry be added to the /etc/services file. This is normally done for you when SoftBench is installed.

If your /etc/services file is managed via the Network Information Service (NIS), an error message will appear in the install log file. If this is the case, you need to manually add the following SoftBench entries to the services file on the NIS master system:

spc         6111/tcp          # Sub-process control
softcm        6110/tcp          # SoftBench CM

If you are installing only the SoftBench CM server on a system with NIS, you need to create the following entry in the NIS master map for /etc/services:

softcm        6110/tcp          # SoftBench CM

Other SoftBench Installation Problems

The SoftBench installation performs a number of automated customizations for you. These include:

If one of the installation logfiles indicates a problem during installation, you may need to perform one or more of these steps manually.
