Dear Dietmar Staab You need to sign a contract to get the NRTM update stream. Please contact <ripe-dbm@ripe.net> for assistance with this. Regards Denis Walker Business Analyst RIPE NCC Database Group Dietmar Staab wrote:
Hi all,
I'm trying to set up mirror of the RIPE - it works fine as I can send queries to my local ripe installation, but I failed to get the NRTM functionality.
I've downloaded the ripe.db.gz and the import with the make_db.sh script was successful. I did some changes to the sample configuration files and the query to my local host returns results from the database.
First question - is the NRTM functionality built in the ripe db installtion and configured inside the sources.config file or is it necessary to start another tool which does the updating process?
The IP of the local server is registered and with the telnet example in the documentation I receive results of changed records.
I'm running version 3.5.2 on debian lenny.
When I start the whois server the output in the log is
090715 10:37:25 whois-server started 090715 10:37:25 /home/baseworks/projects/whoisserver/bin/whois-server -p /home/baseworks/projects/whoisserver/bin/whois_rip.pid -c /home/baseworks/projects/whoisserver/conf/rip.config.baseworks Configuration [/home/baseworks/projects/whoisserver/conf/rip.config.baseworks]: Whois port: 43001 Config port: 43002 Mirror port: 43003 *Running* as root, dropping privileges: Gid: 1000 Egid: 1000 Uid: 1000 Euid: 1000 . Check the DB Checking the Database [RIPE]...[OK] STATUS: The Database is clean ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Loading the radix trees... done. Source [SRCRIPE] Mode STATIC
I think the problem is that the mode is STATIC and *not* NRTM. I changed the opMode value in the sources.config file to all values which were given in the comment lines but nothing changes - on every start I get STATIC as mode.
In the sources.config file I've made the definition for my database with a nrtm entry and the sources definition which was used for the import of the downloaded ripe.db snapshot.
In my sources.config file the current settings are:
DATABASE RIPE host: localhost port: 3306 trx_support: n user: xxxx password: xxxx /DATABASE
NRTM RIPEMIRROR host: whois.ripe.net port: 4444 delay: 60 protocolVersion: 1 /NRTM
SOURCE SRCRIPE database: RIPE opMode: 4 updPort: 43004 canupd: y deflook: y nrtm: RIPEMIRROR /SOURCE
May anyone give me a hint where I'm wrong or what is missing?
TIA
kind regards, Dietmar
