Hi Vinicius,

Yes, definitely:

$ ps auxww  | grep nfsend
www    3281  0.0  0.6 72752 23724  ??  Is    9:58PM   1:55.33 /usr/local/bin/perl -w /usr/local/bin/nfsend
www    3282  0.0  0.4 66580 17108  ??  Is    9:58PM   0:00.44 /usr/local/bin/nfsend-comm (perl)
ej     6255  0.0  0.0  6880  1280  p0  R+    1:33PM   0:00.00 grep nfsend
$

It runs under the correct uid (www).

There's no problem btw with nfdump; I can access all data obtained
from the various sources. The problem is with nfsen throwing that
"ERROR: nfsend connect() error: Invalid argument".

It seems like the error comes from nfsenutil.php. What I don't
understand though is that nfsenutil.php tries to access "$COMMSOCKET"
which is defined in conf.php as "$COMMSOCKET =
"/usr/local/var/nfsen/run/nfsen.comm";" but can't access that socket
though it is r/w for uid www:

$ ls -la /usr/local/var/nfsen/run/
total 10
drwxrwxr-x  2 www  www  512 Nov 28 21:58 .
drwxrwxr-x  9 www  www  512 Nov 28 21:54 ..
-rw-r--r--  1 www  www    5 Nov 28 21:55 isp_rz1.pid
-rw-r--r--  1 www  www    5 Nov 28 21:55 isp_rz2.pid
srw-rw----  1 www  www    0 Nov 28 21:58 nfsen.comm
-rw-r--r--  1 www  www    5 Nov 28 21:58 nfsend.pid
$

I even set that socket to 666 - didn't change anything; same error message...

Kind regards,
