omniNames service won't start, but directly calling executable works

For some reason the omniNames service won't start (again), but if call the omniNames executable it starts without a problem. This problem seems to reoccur every once in a while.

Calling omniNames appears to start fine...

>> sudo /sbin/service omniNames start
Starting omniNames:                                        [  OK  ]

However, after checking on the status and listing naming service objects, it is apparent that omniNames did NOT successfully start:

>> sudo /sbin/service omniNames status
omniNames is stopped

>> nameclt list
Caught a TRANSIENT exception when trying to validate the type of the 
NamingContext. Is the naming service running?

If I try to directly call the omniNames executable and ask it to start on the same port, everything works fine.

>> sudo omniNames -start 2809

I already tried deleting the logs, as suggested here: Error When Starting OmniEvents

For reference, I'm running Centos 6.4 x64. Also, the contents of /etc/omniORB.cfg is:

InitRef = NameService=corbaname::127.0.0.1:2809
supportBootstrapAgent = 1
InitRef = EventService=corbaloc::127.0.0.1:11169/omniEvents

Any idea what else could be wrong?

Solution

  • As well as the files listed in the previous post that you referenced, you may need to delete files in /var/log/omniORB.

    Delete the files named:

    /var/log/omniORB/omninames-<computer_name>.bak
/var/log/omniORB/omninames-<computer_name>.log

    Then try starting omniNames again and see if it starts properly.
