sks init script bug in ubuntu 12.04

[rohan dighe]

Hi Team,

Thanks for the immediate response I really appreciate your efforts on
providing me the solution for sks server.

Here are the steps I am following to setup the sks server on ubuntu 12.04

# aptitude install sks

Set database permissions on the database used by sks to store keys

# chown -Rc debian-sks:debian-sks /var/lib/sks/DB

To start the server automatically, set initstart=yes in /etc/default/sks

# Here I start the sks service

# /etc/init.d/sks start
Stopping sks daemons: sksrecon..start-stop-daemon: warning: failed to kill
31643: No such process
sksdb..start-stop-daemon: warning: failed to kill 31640: No such process
done.
Starting sks daemons: sksdb.. sksrecon.. done.

Then I configure webinterface for sks

I install the sks winzip from internet

Then I created a www directory in /var/lib/sks

unzip the sks in /var/lib/sks/www folder

After that 2 files gets downloaded in /var/lib/sks/www folder.

1) index.html

2) keys.jpg

I Edit index.html and change the three references to
your.site.name(currently at lines 20, 36 & 62) to the url of your
keyserver) ( In my case
its my server ip )

Then I change the permission on the files

# chown -R debian-sks:debian-sks /var/lib/sks/www

After that when I tried to browse http://myserverip:11371 its not working.

I also tried to get the pid of the sks but the pid is not running on the
server below is the given output.

# ps -aufx | grep sks
Warning: bad ps syntax, perhaps a bogus '-'? See
http://procps.sf.net/faq.html
root 31950 0.0 0.0 9384 900 pts/1 S+ 19:26 0:00 \_ grep --color=auto sks

Here I cant see the 2 process running for sks one for the DB, one for recon.

The ps output shows here that sks pid is not running ,It will be helpful if
you let me know where exact the problem lies in sks.


Thanks,
Rohan
