Title: PPC Mac Server Problem
Post by: twilight on April 13, 2007, 12:32:47 am
Well I'm trying to set up another server on another mac of mine and basically I just copied over all the files from my other mac and when I tried to start it up I got:

RegisterProcess Failed (error = -2805)
Abort Trap

The only difference I can see between the two computers is that one is intel and the one that's not working is PPC. any ideas?

What server binary are you using? Is it Intel only or PPC?

Nevermind, just checked and TJW's should do PPC. Make sure you've got the latest stuff?

I'll admit, that's not one I've ever seen before. Where/when does it occur? List all the files you transferred, especially their file extensions. If you can't do that, maybe it's just best to delete them and redownload the files from their proper places.

by the way:
.x86: intel binary (linux also uses this extension, but linux .x86s won't run on a mac)
.ppc: PowerPC only binary. Runs on an intel mac with emulation (i.e. slower)
.ub: Universal Binary. Runs at full speed on both types of mac.

ok so i deleted everything and ran a clean install. now I get this error when I try and start up the server.

./tremded.ub: line 1: syntax error near unexpected token `newline'
./tremded.ub: line 1: `<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//IETF//DTD HTML 2.0//EN">'

that's all I get...nothing else...

actually, given enough effort, you could get linux binaries running on a mac of the same architecture (so a linux binary compiled on x86 could run on an x86 mac, a linux binary compiled on ppc could run a ppc mac), but it would be pretty painful to get it working.

I think you downloaded an .html page and named it .ub or something, make sure you download the .ub in binary mode
