apcupsd broken since conversion Debian 2.0 -> 3.0
I have an APCC SmartUPS 1500 connected to my server with the
(supplied?) serial cable which was working fine. I've just realised
that it's not fine at all with apcupsd anymore and I think the change
seems to have come about through upgrading to Woody using dselect and
pointing to Woody. I haven't rebooted and nothing much else seems
broken. No other serial connections nor any need for them so not
sure how to test. Error message from the restart of apcupsd is:
Fri Jul 26 18:13:30 BST 2002 apcupsd FATAL ERROR in apcserial.c at
line 173
PANIC! Cannot communicate with UPS via serial port.
Fri Jul 26 18:13:32 BST 2002 apcupsd error shutdown completed
apsupsd.conf is unchanged and points to /dev/ttyS0 as it did before.
Cable still plugged and screwed in fine and UPS showing green on
front panel.
Odd. Anyone else seen this? Anyone got any advice?
TIA,
Chris
