Unparseable reply from gnatsd....

Unparseable reply from gnatsd....

[Adam Cade]

Gnats was working just fine.... i did not use it for a few weeks, then 
got this error:

Unparseable reply from gnatsd

I have searched google... found some people with the same problem... but 
never a solution.

Any help would be rather nice!

Thanks in advanced.

You wouldn't by chance be using an older version of gnatsweb with a
newer version of gnatsd, would you?  Could you give us a little more
insight and detail as to where you're seeing this error?

I'm guessing you're getting this error in gnatsweb. If so,
gnatsweb is not handling the error returned from gnatsd
and is giving you the "catchall" message.

The easiest way to determine what is wrong is to telnet to the
port gnatsd is listening on and issue your command(s) directly
to gnatsd. This requires a little familiarity with the GNATS
protocol, but it cuts out all the middleware and you can see
the exact reply from gnatsd.

[ The GNATS protocol commands are fairly straightforward to use.
   Just enter 'help' and you'll see the list of available commands. ]

Otherwise, please provide a little more information about
what it is you're doing to get this error...is it a query,
a PR create, edit, etc.

This indicates that inetd isn't starting the GNATS daemon upon connection 
to port 1529. You seem to have configured everything else properly, so I 
would suggest you have a closer look at inetd. Perhaps you forgot to 
restart inetd after editing inetd.conf?

Hm. It might be that gnatsd isn't started properly when Gnatsweb tries to 
connect. Try to do a "telnet localhost 1529" on the GNATS server and if you 
can connect, do a "list databases" once again. Then send the output to the 
mailing list.

Ok there is a file /usr/local/gnats/etc/gnats/databases and the content is:

The following is the output from command gnatsd with the option LIST 
Databases:

LIST Databases

This seems to be what causes your problem. The gnats-db.conf is now named 
"databases" and should be located in the /usr/local/etc directory if you 
built GNATS with default options. See 
http://www.gnu.org/software/gnats/doc/4_0_beta_snapshot/databases-file.html#databases%20file 
for more info.

Hope this helps.

Re: Unparseable reply from gnatsd

[Eicke Felipe]

Hi, (thanks for your reply, I am hopeless).

I installed gnatsweb from the contrib subdirectory of the GNATS 4.0 beta 
distribution.
The directory three that I installed is the following:

/usr/local/gnats/
                 bin
                 com/gnatsdb
                 etc
                 info
                 libexec
                 man
                 share
and there is a file /etc/gnats-db.conf with contents:
/usr/local/gnats/com/gnatsdb:default


Why is the combo Database (from gnatsweb) empty?

Thanks a lot Eicke.

It does look like you haven't upgraded Gnatsweb. Note that Gnatsweb 2.x 
will not work with GNATS 4.x. A beta version of Gnatsweb 4.0 is included in 
the contrib subdirectory of the GNATS 4.0 beta distribution.

Hope this helps,
