Comments:	By: Leif Madsen (lmadsen) 2010-08-25 10:39:07 Not enough information provided. You will have to provide some logging to show what is happening here. Please check logs in /var/log/ and provide relevant information. By: wurstsalat (wurstsalat) 2010-08-25 10:54:15 I would if there were any logs but there aren't. Where should the init script write his logs or where should i find the logs you are asking for?

By: wurstsalat (wurstsalat) 2010-09-08 03:36:40 readlink is already installed. I use the same OS version than I use with 1.6.1.20. And with 1.6.1.20 the initscript works without any issues. By: Andrew Latham (lathama) 2010-09-10 10:09:05 Comment out the "set -e" and it will work fine... There were some changes in Debian that made the script work different.  I was about to submit a note and saw this ticket... By: Andrew Latham (lathama) 2010-09-10 10:25:37 In the Debian script, the "set -e" is inserted after some of the tests that may or may not return values that would trigger the exit. By: wurstsalat (wurstsalat) 2010-09-13 03:20:43 You are right, uncommenting "set -e" was the trick. Now it works fine.
