When RHEL installs heartbeat, the following error occurs: heartbeat: udpport setting must precede media statements.

The environment is as follows:

[root@master ~]# cat /etc/redhat-release Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 5.5 (Tikanga)[root@master ~]# uname -aLinux master 2.6.18-194.el5 #1 SMP Tue Mar 16 21:52:39 EDT 2010 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux[root@master ~]# 

Install Heartbeat-2.1.3 with the following error:

I couldn't understand what it meant, And then I checked it by google. I checked the original Installation Guide carefully and found that the authkeys Configuration File Permission must be 600,

Flash: Is it because of this? But it doesn't look like it ......

Despite the doubt, I tried it with the idea of taking care of the dead horse. oh my god, it really solved it!

[root@master ha.d]# service heartbeat start       logd is already runningStarting High-Availability services: 2013/07/15_16:33:41 INFO:  Resource is stopped2013/07/15_16:33:41 INFO:  Resource is stopped                                                           [  OK  ]

As for the reason, there is no time to study it in detail. If you are interested, try it.
