Hello there I had some problems in the beginning of 2007 and I got some direction from Agoston Horvath (thanks btw). It kinda solved some of the problems, but I had to run the DB as a static DB to avoid crashes... Anyway, due to some hardware problems we decided to rebuild the whois server (version 3.3) on a new box. Agoston Horvath wrote that there would be a new whois server avail. and 3.3 was old... but I can only find ver. 3.3. Question: Is ver. 3.3 the latest avil. version? If not, where do I pickup the latest and best (not via you CVS link ...) ? version 3.3: Compiling took ages due to a stripped RHEL (prerequisites not in place) but it looks like I've succeeded at last. Loading SAMPLE went OK - but I have problems with RIPE DB (would it be an idea for future releases to store RIPE.CURRENTSERIAL within the ripe.db.gz file ...just for the ease of it ?) First - I'm running a MySQL 4.1.20 but that is the only *big* difference in the list of prerequisites. Second - a minor hack applied to <installdir>/bin/SQL/create.first-stage since I apparently had som problems in the "auto" creation of the RIPADMIN. I added the following vars. to the script which helped (somehow these vars. was not passed on from my rip.config file: RIPADMIN_DBHOST=localhost RIPADMIN_DBPORT=3306 RIPADMIN_DBUSER=<my_db_user> RIPADMIN_DBPASS=<my_passwd> RIPADMIN_DBNAME=RIPADMIN Running make_db with option -0 runs fine :-) Running make_db (in the ex. below with DEBUG enabled) with option -1 fails: nohup /usr/local/whoisserver/bin/make_db -c /usr/local/whoisserver/conf/rip.config -s RIPE -1 2>&1 [cut..cut] [0] 0.03s OK [aut-num:AS8387][U:ADD] [0] 0.04s OK [aut-num:AS1205][U:ADD] [0] 0.02s OK [aut-num:AS15631][U:ADD] [0] 0.02s OK [aut-num:AS8925][U:ADD] [0] 0.06s OK [aut-num:AS12565][U:ADD] [0] 0.04s OK [aut-num:AS8787][U:ADD] [0] 0.03s OK [aut-num:AS15646][U:ADD] [0] 0.02s OK [aut-num:AS15649][U:ADD] [0] 0.02s OK [aut-num:AS15650][U:ADD] [0] 0.02s OK [aut-num:AS15651][U:ADD] [0] 0.03s OK [aut-num:AS8602][U:ADD] [0] 0.04s OK [aut-num:AS13211][U:ADD] [0] 0.04s OK [aut-num:AS12508][U:ADD] [0] 0.03s OK [aut-num:AS13004][U:ADD] [0] 0.06s OK [aut-num:AS15654][U:ADD] [0] 0.04s OK [aut-num:AS15655][U:ADD] [0] 0.03s OK [aut-num:AS15656][U:ADD] [0] 0.03s OK [aut-num:AS15508][U:ADD] *** ERROR: Loader failure [139].

So I guess the problem lies somewhere in my binaries (the loader) or in mysql ? Running make_db with the -2 option crashes as well - but it succeeds loading much more data.

I'm a little lost ;-( Should I give it a try with the "spilt" version of the current ripe.db.gz ? If yes, is the right way to point at the split files like this (in ./bin/make_db): # List of object files (wildcards are allowed) #LIST=${LIST:-$OBJDIR/sample.db.gz} #LIST=${LIST:-$OBJDIR/ripe.db.gz} LIST=${LIST:-$OBJDIR/*.db.gz} I hope there is enough (and not to much...) info. to help pin-pointing where to look.
