Hi,

I have downloaded inn-2.2.1 on a ultra sparc 10 machine with solaris 7.
I have follow all steps for compiling this version of inn on solaris 7
with gnu, perl or what ever i required. Compiling was succeeded and I
try configure the server to start a our news site. I have follow the
INSTALL instruction to configure the server. I 'm not sure if all of my
configurations are correct. There are some check and status programs
which I run and get error. The server can not start and I can not figure

out where it can go wrong. Below you can find some output of the
inncheck, innstat, cnfsstat
