[Dxspider-support] Node won't start

[Dirk Koopman]

Martin

Please look at the debug files (try: grepdbg | less or ls -rtl 
/spider/data/debug/2022 and less <the latest file>) and work backwards 
from the end and send it to me.

Another alternative is to try to start it up manually:

1. Login as the sysop user.
2. cd /spider/perl
3. ./cluster.pl

and note what it says when it fails. One thing that does happen from 
time to time on the master release (far less so on the mojo branch, 
because I suspect that the serialisation package that I used in the 
master actually has bugs in it) you could usefully remove and/or rebuild 
all your Storable based files:

1. Remove /spider/data/dupefile
2. Remove /spider/data/dxqsl.v1 and if you use the sh/dxqsl command 
(like the AK1A Go thingy that this is my take on) run 
/spider/perl/create_dxqsl.pl
3. cd /spider/data; rm users.v3; perl user_asc  # do a quick ls -rtl 
user_asc* to see whether the latest one is the biggest. If 'user_asc' is 
not the biggest then use the biggest one of the user_asc.o* files.

Then try a manual restart.

Otherwise email me direct with some credentials and I will have a look.
