Maybe you're trying to get the [RIPE] Whois Server going... It's kind of old and archaic in several respects it seems. |

Here is a list of hacks that I've had to do to get it working on [Debian] Sid so far, this is a work in progress. |

or any other SegmentationFault when you try to run the whois server, chances are your DataBase permissions are incorrect. The server doesn't seem to have the concept of error messages and will happily crash if |
| |
|

|
| |
|
16 |
* you lack permissions to <tt>LOCK TABLES</tt>, |
| |
|
17 |
* the DataBase server isn't running, |
| |
|
18 |
* you lack permissions to create temporary tables, |
| |
|
19 |
* you look at it wrong, |
| |
|
20 |
* and probably many more cases. |

I used the following [MySQL] commands as the <tt>make_user</tt> script is for an archaic [MySQL] version and the user table has many more fields now... |
