Urchin 5 on CentOS 5 (RHEL 5) - ERROR: (7066-211-368)

Wed, 07 Apr 2010 09:34:00 -0400

After installing Urchin, I got the following error when trying to update _domaindb.


ERROR: (7066-211-368) Domain DB update failed DETAIL: (6) Couldn't resolve host 'download.urchin.com'

Now the DNS was configured properly and download.urchin.com was pinging normally. Turns out that urchin needs the nscd service enabled.


#yum install nscd
#chkconfig nscd on
#service nscd start
#ln -s /var/run/nscd/socket /var/run/.nscd_socket

After doing this, the update should work fine.

Urchin 5 - Opening reports in the same window

Wed, 15 Jul 2009 13:54:00 -0400

By default Urchin 5 seems to want to open reports in a new window. This can be a little annoying. To change this, we just need to update the javascript function that gets run when you click on the "View Report" link.


vi /usr/local/urchin/htdocs/ujs/admin.js +434

You should see the following code:


mywin = window.open('',myname);

mywin.location.href = url;
mywin.focus();

We're going to comment it out and add our own code:


//mywin = window.open('',myname);

//mywin.location.href = url;

//mywin.focus();

window.location.href=url;

After clearing our cache, the reports open in the same window.
