[Scribeserver-users] Running scribe question

[Rexque F. <rex...@gm...>]

I have a HDFS cluster, I'm pretty sure it works, I have:

app1:
TaskTracker
DataNode
JobTracker
NameNode

app2:
TaskTracker
DataNode
SecondaryNameNode

on both nodes, I get the same result ( emtpy, no errors) if I run, so im
pretty sure HDFS is working:
$hadoop fs -ls /scribed/EVENTSIGNUPSCRIBE
$

here is part of my very plain, vanilla scribe.conf, running on app1:

<primary>
type=file
fs_type=hdfs
file_path=hdfs://app1:8020/scribed
create_symlink=no
use_hostname_sub_directory=no
base_filename=thisisoverwritten
max_size=40000000
rotate_period=daily
rotate_hour=0
rotate_minute=5
add_newlines=1
</primary>

in hadoop in core-site.xml I have this defined:
<configuration>
  <property>
    <name>fs.default.name</name>
    <value>hdfs://app1:8020</value>
  </property>

just for fun, i can telnet to app1 8020 from app1

I made a php script that should write to this, here are the errors I see in
scribe's log:

any idea what I am doing wrong, or what I should be looking for?
