[Xen-users] cannot start xend

[aq <aquynh@xxxxxxxxx>]

hello,

I tried to install xen 2.0.5, but got some errors when starting xend.

here is how I installed xen into my system (Ubuntu Hoary)
- got xen-2.0.5-src.tgz from the home page
- untar, then "make world", then "make install". everything was fine
- configure grub for xen
- reboot the machine with xen-2.0.5

after these steps, I logged in and tried to start xend
(/etc/init.d/xend start). I just got ten dot (.) printed out, then it
stops. I looked more closely and found that xend could not start. the
result of "xend status" returns 3 as error code.

then I looked at /var/log/xend-debug.log. here is the last few lines:

^^^
    self.xd = XendDomain.instance()
  File "/usr/lib/python/xen/xend/XendDomain.py", line 798, in instance
    inst = XendDomain()
  File "/usr/lib/python/xen/xend/XendDomain.py", line 60, in __init__
    self.domain_db = self.db.fetchall("")
  File "/usr/lib/python/xen/xend/XendDB.py", line 69, in fetchall
    for k in dircache.listdir(dpath):
  File "/usr/lib/python2.4/dircache.py", line 25, in listdir
    mtime = os.stat(path).st_mtime
OSError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/var/lib/xen/xend-db/domain/'
^^^

it looks like that xend cannot start because of lacking a directory,
or it failed because of other reasons. anybody experienced this
problem, or know how to fix this?

by the way, I used to install 2.0.5 on several other machines, but
never got any trouble like this.

thank you a lot,
aq
