SDB:Starting INN after Updating to 9.0

Version: 9.0

Symptom

The INN daemon (innd) no longer runs after updating to version 9.0.

Cause

The cause can be found in /var/log/news/news.err:

Oct 16 12:58:38 D42 innd: tradspool: storeonxref needs to be true
Oct 16 12:58:38 D42 innd: SM storage method 'tradspool' failed initialization
Oct 16 12:58:38 D42 innd: SM one or more storage methods failed initialization
Oct 16 12:58:38 D42 innd: SERVER cant initialize storage manager: one or more storage methods failed initialization

Solution

Log in as news:

su - news

and set storeonxref to the value true in /etc/news/inn.conf:

storeonxref:            true

Now start the daemon:

rcinn start
