User `bin' appears in `/usr/lib/cron/cron.deny'. Software Image Manager requires `bin' to be able to run `crontab'. Contact your local technical support representative to edit the file /usr/lib/cron/cron.deny and remove the entry from bin.

Software Management requires that the user bin be allowed to use at and cron.

Edit the relevant files to allow the user bin to use at and cron.

Wrong OS

Operating system is not Solaris or not a supported version of Solaris.

Make sure you are running Solaris 2.6.

Failure to Delete a Package During Uninstallation

If you try to remove CD Two but the uninstallation program fails to delete a package, try running the uninstall program again. Several circumstances can cause a package to remain after uninstallation. Usually, running the uninstall program again removes the package.

Accessing the CiscoWorks2000 Server

The CiscoWorks2000 Server uses port 80 by default. This port is normally used by web servers. If you receive an error message that an existing web server is already configured to run on port 80, and the alternative port 1741 is used instead, verify that you entered the correct URL for the server:

http:// server_name:1741

where server_name is the name of the machine where CiscoWorks2000 was installed, and 1741 is the alternative port on which CiscoWorks2000 is installed if port 80 is in use.

Verify the Server Is Running

Use the following command to make sure your server is running:

ping server_name

Proxy Server Problems

If you get a message that the server is "alive," and get a proxy error when you try to connect to the server, make sure the proxy is set up correctly. If your server is configured to use a proxy server outside the firewall (specified in Netscape Navigator under Options > Network Preferences > Proxies), you will get proxy errors if you configured the proxy to ignore requests to a certain machine, set of machines, or domain.

Your proxy is set up incorrectly if:

Daemon Manager Not Running

If the Daemon Manager is not running, CiscoWorks2000 cannot run. When you install or uninstall CiscoWorks2000, the Daemon Manager is temporarily stopped and then restarted. If the install or uninstall process is interrupted, the Daemon Manager might remain in the stopped state.


Note Wait a few seconds after the server starts before logging in. If you have trouble logging in, use the Reload button on your browser.

To start or stop the Daemon Manager:


Step 1 Log in as root.

Step 2 Open a shell window.

Step 3 Start the server by entering:

# /etc/init.d/dmgtd start

Step 4 Stop the server by entering:

# /etc/init.d/dmgtd stop


Viewing Process Status

You can check back-end server process failures by selecting CiscoWorks2000 Server > Administration > Process Management > Process Status. Only users with administrator privileges can start and stop processes. For details, refer to Getting Started with the CiscoWorks2000 Server.

Browser Problems

If the desktop buttons do not work, Java and JavaScript are not enabled. Make sure you enable Java and JavaScript.

Make sure the browser cache is not set to zero.

Do not resize the browser window while the desktop main page is loading. This can cause a Java error.

For information about setting up browsers, refer to Installing and Setting Up
CD One on Solari
