<![CDATA[FOP 2 with OpenVZ]]>Hi,

I'm using FOP 2 in an OpenVZ virtual machine. To get a license you need a MAC-Address. I read set it is possible by using a veth device. As I am using a clustered setup, it is not easy to set up a veth device for me. Is there any other way I can get a license? In my scenario a veth device just for licening is oversized.

Rgs,

/usr/local/fop2/fop2_server -X 511 -d

and see if it produces any output ? Be sure to kill your running instance first.

Best regards,

says "ok", but the service is not starting or it terminates right after starting with no error message.
Same with -d switch. No error, but the service is not starting.
With "/usr/local/fop2/fop2_server &" in /etc/rc.local fop2 starts automatically after reboot and is working without any errors so far. Do you think I will have any disadvantages with this solution?

If you want to background the server when running it by hand it is best to use the -d switch instead of the last &

After licening it is no longer possible to start fop2 with "service fop2 start" as it was working befor. I can start fop2 with "/usr/local/fop2/fop2_server &".

Any idea how to fix this? I'm on centos 4.
