[IDD #RDQ-217349]: IDD/LDM startup problem, no data, no log

Hi Mike,

We'll try :-)

OK, no worries.

Where the LDM is installed is not important as long as the configuration for
things like syslogd logging use the real location.

Very good; you are receiving IDS|DDPLUS data.

This typically means one of a small number of things:

- you did not setup /etc/syslog.conf entries for LDM logging

- you are on a Linux machine that has SELINUX configured to control
  syslogd logging

- you have some sort of an error in the configuration of /etc/syslog.conf
 
> And I dont see anything other than the product queue in the data directory:

> -rw-r--r--   1 ldm      unidata  411369472 Apr 21 20:01 ldm.pq

OK.  Troubleshooting product processing will be easier when LDM logging is
working, but let's continue.

One comment:

The single action in the pqact.conf file that you attached:

PPS ^_ELSE_$    STDIOFILE   -overwrite -flush -close -strip -log    data/\1

uses the '\1' value for file naming.  The regular expression to match products,
however, does not have any pieces that would match the '\1'.  The pieces
are sections of the extended regular expression that are enclosed by 
parentheses.

Next, in order to figure out why when the action worked the products were 
written
to the LDM home directory.

1) Please send the results of the following:

<login as 'ldm'>
cd ~ldm
ls -alt

2) please send us your /etc/syslog.conf file

3) please send the results of:

uname -a

4) please send us the results of:

cat /etc/selinux/config

> Thanks in advance for any help you can offer,

No worries.

Cheers,

Tom
