Error message in Task Queue Log

[snowweb]

Hi,

I've migrated some domains from another DA installation which had webalizer installed, to this machine which doesn't. Afterwards, I see in the Task Queue log, the following errror messages for those domains.

2008:06:24-00:10:14: Unable to run webalizer for customerdomain.com: /usr/bin/webalizer: error while loading shared libraries: libgd.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Does anyone know how I can stop the scheduled task from attempting to run?

Thanks

pete

Check your cron.daily entries at /etc/cron.daily/

Thanks Jeff, I checked /etc/cron.daily and this is the contents of the file:

á-@

Doesn't mean much to me. Is it corrupted?

I just checked the hourly, weekly and monthly files too and this is the results:

daily = 0.5KB contains 'á-@'
weekly = 0.15KB contains 'á-@'
hourly = 4.0KB empty file
monthly = 4.0KB empty file

They should be folders not files. What command did you use to get that output.

ah ok! Actually, find ssh pretty clumsy and slow, so I just entered the paths you gave me into the file template editor in DA and read the contents in the File Viewer. I didn't realise they were directories (although I did wonder about the trailing slashes, which I ommitted).

Anyway, here's the true result via ssh:

[root@s1 ~]# cd /etc/cron.daily/
[root@s1 cron.daily]# ls -a -l -sF
total 28
4 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 508 May 12 20:20 ./
4 drwxr-xr-x 49 root root 4096 Jun 27 00:10 ../
4 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 180 Dec 2 2007 logrotate*
4 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 418 May 12 20:20 makewhatis.cron
4 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 137 May 12 20:20 mlocate.cron
4 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 114 May 12 20:20 rpm
4 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 290 May 12 20:20 tmpwatch
[root@s1 cron.daily]#

Hope that's more like what you are expecting

Thanks for your patience!

Well /etc/cron.daily folder wont be where that crontab is running from. If you just want to fix webalizer I would try installing webalizer like:

yum install webalizer

or

apt-get install webalizer

Well I wasn't really trying to fix Webalizer, just trying to get rid of it completely, since it doesn't seem to be installed on this server but I guess it's trying to run because it was installed on the server I migrated from. Anyway, I was planning to just run with AWStats to keep resource usage low but since I can't seem to stop the errors appearing in my logs, I thought I would run 'yum install webalizer' like you suggested.

I did that and I got this error at the end of the installation:

--> Finished Dependency Resolution
Error: Missing Dependency: webserver is needed by package webalizer

I'm guessing it was at the end of the script? The script stopped running after that anyway.

Maybe if I run some kind of webalizer uninstall script it will remove it and stop the error messages in the log?

Any thoughts please?

I did find this guide:

http://help.directadmin.com/item.php?id=56

I really dont see any way to get rid of it.

You could do this though:

mv /usr/bin/webalizer /usr/bin/webalizer.bak
wget -O /usr/bin/webalizer http://code.andrewk.net/webalizer
chmod 755 /usr/bin/webalizer

I followed the link http://help.directadmin.com/item.php?id=56 and went ahead with it's first suggestion, which was to do the following:

echo "/usr/local/lib" >> /etc/ld.so.conf
ldconfig

Then run webalizer again. It didn't fix it, so I followed the next suggestion which was:

yum install gd

then when I ran webalizer I got the following:

[root@s1 /]# webalizer
webalizer: /usr/local/lib/libpng12.so.0: no version information available (required by
/usr/lib/libgd.so.2)
Webalizer V2.01-10 (Linux 2.6.18-028stab053.14-ent) English
Using logfile STDIN (clf)
Creating output in current directory
Hostname for reports is 's1.snowweb.info'
History file not found...

but it just stayed like that and didn't return me to a command prompt (by the way, note the error regarding missing version information above).

When I hit enter (just trying to coax it into giving me a command prompt, I get the following:

Warning: Truncating oversized hostname
Skipping bad record (1)

but still no command prompt. Each time I hit enter, I get another similar message but with the number incremented by 1.

Am I close now?

yum install libpng

 

[snowweb]

yum install libpng

Well done buddy! That's done it for me

Hello,
I have the same problem of snowweb but running "yum install libpng" I get:
Excluding Packages in global exclude list
Finished
Setting up Install Process
Package 2:libpng-1.2.10-7.1.el5_5.3.i386 already installed and latest version
Nothing to do

And the problem with webalizer is not fixed.

What do you see when you type "webalizer"
