Re: [Moosefs-users] mfscgi non default data directory

[Brandon F. <bra...@li...>]

thanks, I'll check that out.
What I ended up doing was creating 3 different /usr/sbin/mfscgiserv
files one for each mfs. and then I just had to change to owner of the
.mfscgiserv.lock file (to fix the stopping right after strarting
mfscgiserv) to match my mfs user. and finally edit mfs.cgi in the
mfscgi root directory to match the master port that the mfs daemon was
using.

its working now, maybe a little more work this way, but it works.
