Symantec Access Management

Hi all,

I am trying to bring up the LLAWP process along with the httpd  one, with no luck so far.

I have an Apache 2.2 instance on a RedHat Enterprise. I installed the agent and modified the httpd.conf accordingly, but I couldn't get the LLAWP process working.

The error I get is:

I get errors when running the httpd daemon as a service "/etc/init.d/httpd start" ,  after running ca_wa_env.sh, but I worked this around by running the process on its own with ./httpd

Do you have any ideas or suggestions?

Looking at the following message, best to check your WebAgent.conf file and ensure that the HostConfigFile has a valid directory path to the SmHost.conf:

Path to the SiteMinder host configuration File is Empty.

Also, try starting LLAWP manually to check of the configurations is correct:

./LLAWP /usr/local/apache2/conf/WebAgent.conf -APACHE22

I was eventually able to get it fixed.

It was actually an httpd.conf & webagent.conf issue:

1- I wrongly specified the webagent file in the httpd.conf file, I was wrongly  feeding the smhost file instead

2- I did add some commented out (with #) lines into the webagent.conf file, which LLAWP  apparently  didn't like very much

Now it starts and works like a charm

Thank you for your advice

I am also getting an error like these but they just keep repeating and continuing as long as the webserver and agent are up. We also checked out if it could be a fix like what worked for you but it did not come back to be that same issue.
