IRRd-Discuss

[Tay Chee Yong]

Hi,

I had downloaded the database to the irr_directory, but when I perform a sh 
mirror-status radb, it gives the following:

jupiter IRRd# show mirror-status radb
radb (Mirror)

Local Information:
  Oldest journal serial number: 98051
  Current serial number: 0

Remote Information:
  Mirror host: 198.108.0.18:43
  Mirrorable.
  Oldest journal serial number: 93061.
  Current serial number: 98452.
  *WARNING* Remote oldest journal > our CURRENTSERIAL.
  *WARNING* Mirroring will fail.  Please reseed your database.

I had downloaded the RADB database from whois.radb.net itself, but why 
can't it synchronize with my local database?

I have my irrd running

jupiter-pts/11:~>ps -ef | grep irrd
root     28529     1  0 12:44 ?        00:00:00 irrd
root     28533 28529  0 12:44 ?        00:00:00 irrd
root     28534 28533  0 12:44 ?        00:00:00 irrd
root     23969 25138  0 14:18 pts/1    00:00:00 telnet 127.0.0.1 irrd
root     23970 28533  0 14:18 ?        00:00:00 irrd
tcy      26468 23972  0 14:23 pts/11   00:00:00 grep irrd

I also have my configuration file ready :

jupiter-pts/11:/etc>cat irrd.conf

I also had the initial copies of the databases:

jupiter-pts/11:/var/tmp>ls -l

-rwxr-xr--    1 root     root      5582636 Mar  6 10:33 ripe.JOURNAL

What am I missing??

There is one thing which I am quite puzzled about. After the first attempt 
to start irrd, I had create the necessary configuration file 
(/etc/irrd.conf), but when I did a "kill -9 <irrd process id>" and try to 
restart the irrd process, irrd refuse to startup, until I delete the 
irrd.conf. Then I can start irrd again, but I need to re-create the entire 
configuration file again.

My host information is as follows:

Linux 2.4.2-2smp #1 SMP Sun Apr 8 20:21:34 EDT 2001 i686 unknown

Hope to receive some valuable advise from the experts out there.
Thanks.

Cheeyong
