Hi, I want to setup a redirector and dataserver using the following config file: all.manager lobsang.neubert23.net 3121 all.role manager if lobsang.neubert23.net all.role server if rincewind.neubert23.net olb.allow host rincewind.neubert23.net olb.port 3121 olb.path w /home/xrootd/testdata xrd.protocol xrootd * xrootd.export /home/xrootd/testdata xrootd.async off xrd.adminpath /home/xrootd/xrdadmin olb.adminpath /home/xrootd/olbadmin olb.trace all Are there any obvious problems with this configuration? The problem is, that while the manager olbd and the server olbd start, they never communicate with each other. Here are the log files: Manager log: 071102 21:03:25 001 (c) 2004 Stanford University/SLAC xrd version 20070321-1251p1 071102 21:03:25 001 olbd [log in to unmask] initialization started. 071102 21:03:25 001 Using configuration file opt/xrootd/etc/xrootd.cfg 071102 21:03:25 001 Maximum number of connections is 1024 071102 21:03:25 001 (c) 2006 Stanford University/SLAC olbd. 071102 21:03:25 001 [log in to unmask] phase 1 initialization started. 071102 21:03:25 001 [log in to unmask] phase 1 manager initialization suceeded. 071102 21:03:25 001 [log in to unmask] phase 2 manager initialization started. 071102 21:03:25 001 olb_Config: Round robin scheduling in effect. 071102 21:03:25 001 [log in to unmask] phase 2 manager initialization completed. 071102 21:03:25 001 olbd [log in to unmask]:3121 initialization completed. 071102 21:04:55 4570 olb_Config: manager service enabled.

I don't have an idea what I could be doing wrong. Any advice? Cheers, Andreas
