gnatsd daemon problem

[S Ramesh <rashanmu at npd dot hcltech dot com>]

Hi,

I need to check out whether the "gnatsd" daemon is working fine or  
   not coz for gnatsweb to wrok properly gnatsd has to run. In my  
system i have only xinetd internet superserver and not inetd.
   so i created a file gnatsd in the /etc/xinetd.d directory as

service support
{
        disable = no
        socket_type     = stream
        protocol        = tcp
        wait            = no
        user            = gnats
        server          = /usr/local/lib/gnats/gnatsd
}

Is this format is correct. after doing this i again run the xinetd 
daemon but i could not find gnatsd in the processes list like when i 
tried

ps -ef | grep ?

i could not find gnatsd even i restarted the system. SO what could be 
the problem. Is inetd superserver is a must or xinetd itself can do. 
Only thing is xinetd config is different compared to inetd. 

Also while running the make test in the gnatsweb directory like

 make test USERNAME=anonymous PASSWORD=guest DATABASE=main

the output is like......

perl test.pl
Content-type: text/html
 
<H1>Software error:</H1>
<CODE>Can't call method &quot;header&quot; on an undefined value at 
gnatsweb.pl line 2199.
</CODE>
<P>
For help, please send mail to this site's webmaster, giving this 
error message
and the time and date of the error.
 
[Wed Jul 11 19:12:51 2001] test.pl: Can't call method "header" on an 
undefined value at gnatsweb.pl line 2199.
connect...........................................FAIL
make: *** [test] Error 111

So what could be the problem. Connection refused errno is returned. 
Means noboyd is listening in the port 1529 r what? I request 
you to help me to figure out the exact problem. Its really 
frustrating and i am in urgent need of help.

Thanks,
Ramesh
