whois-server crash
by ripe＠foobar.dk 08 Jan '07

Hi I'm currently trying to debug our whoisserver (version 3.3.0) running as a near real-time mirror running on a RedHat (2.6.9-42.0.3.EL). First - I did not setup the server myself so history is pretty short... Problem: The server starts, runs for a while sucking up all CPU and dies. The wrapper keeps restarting the server as long as $CRASHES -le 10 and then it shuts down. I been looking into the logs and I think there might be a problem with updating the database. When the server starts it complains about to undefined conf. variables : [cut..cut] 070103 14:02:07 whois-server started 070103 14:02:07 /usr/local/whoisserver/bin/whois-server -p /usr/local/whoisserver/bin/whois_rip.pid -c /usr/local/whoisserver/conf/rip.config.sample Configuration [/usr/local/whoisserver/conf/rip.config.sample]: Warning: undefined configuration variable: SAWFILE Warning: undefined configuration variable: UPDSOURCE Error: Incomplete configuration file. Was this intended ??? 2 configuration variables undefined. Mandatory variable(s) undefined <<<<<<<<<<<<<<< >>>>>>>>>>> Continuing ..... Warning: undefined configuration variable: SAWFILE Warning: undefined configuration variable: UPDSOURCE Error: Incomplete configuration file. Was this intended ??? 2 configuration variables undefined. [cut..cut] These variables seems to be missing (or commented out (UPDSOURCE)) in the rip.config.sample that is used as config file. I wonder if that causes problems ? It then checks the DB and reports OK, and then it goes into a NTRM mode and dies when trying to update: [cut..cut] Check the DB Checking the Database [RIPE]...[OK] STATUS: The Database is clean ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Source [RIPE] Mode NRTM [/usr/local/whoisserver/log/ripupd/ripupdlog_RIPE] Mode of operation: * dummy not allowed * NRTM * running as a server * NHR is maintained died: +781 modules/ud/ud_core.c 070103 14:05:48 whoisd crashed & restarted\n/usr/local/whoisserver/bin/whois-server -c /usr/local/whoisserver/conf/rip.config.sample.q\n 070103 14:05:49 /usr/local/whoisserver/bin/whois-server -p /usr/local/whoisserver/bin/whois_rip.pid -c /usr/local/whoisserver/conf/rip.config.sample.q [cut..cut] Looking in log/ripupd/<logfile> the crash triggers a severe warning : 20070103 14:05:47 whois_rip-13755/2914581424 UD-S-SEVERE query not defined for this type of attribute[74]\x0A So in modules/ud/ud_core.c [line 780] (attribute_type) is "x0A" when it crashes - but I get a little lost from here. It leaves me with a few questions: 0) "Mandatory variables" sounds mandatory to me - but it does not seem (in the first place) to cause the server to crash, but just warns. 1) Any good ideas for debugging further ? 2) Is there a good howto somewhere with a better description of the config values found in rip.config* and sources.config.sample*. I'm a little curious about SAW values etc... Best regards, Peter
