SS5 Misconfiguration

[payot]

Dear All

I have compiled and made the ss5 as the instrustion had asked, it done perfectly but when I try to add u/p ,I get such error:

service ss5 restart
/etc/init.d/ss5: line 22: [: =: unary operator expected
Restarting ss5... /etc/init.d/ss5: line 22: [: =: unary operator expected
Shutting down ss5...
done [FAILED]
/etc/init.d/ss5: line 22: [: =: unary operator expected
[ERRO] Error parsing configuration file (see ss5.log file for details). SS5 exiting...
done


any idea?

thanks,

[mk27]

Unary operators have only one operator, and anything in init.d is a shell script, so this sounds like a typo. Post the content of /etc/init.d/ss5, at least to line 22.

# Check that networking is up.
 [ ${NETWORKING} = "no" ] && exit 0

This is an issue explained here (if you're interested in shell scripting) under "empty variables":

http://www.linuxcommand.org/wss0100.php

Anyway, try putting ${NETWORKING} in quotes:

# Check that networking is up.
 [ "${NETWORKING}" = "no" ] && exit 0

Which is how that check is done in the other fedora init scripts I looked at (otherwise, I'd think it would be better to see if NETWORKING = "yes"...but maybe we don't care as long as it doesn't = "no").

If that works, report it as a bug for SS5 at Fedora, since it's Fedora's script.

Maybe also post your /etc/sysconfig/network -- that's where NETWORKING should be defined, and it was sourced on line 19.

thanks dear mk27

your key advice solved the problem and I get this result:

# service ss5 restart
Restarting ss5... Shutting down ss5...
done [ OK ]
doneting ss5... [ OK ]
root@myhost [/etc/sysconfig]#

but maybe something still remind , becuase after I try to use it ,it does not effect the porxy

any advice?

I dunno anything about SS5 itself, sorry. It does appear to have a mailing list:

https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/...fo/ss5-discuss

Although it may not be currently maintained...
