Starting NFS kernel daemon fail

Starting NFS kernel daemon fail

[kapenware]

hi,  everyone, I'm trying to setup an NFS server on my PC. I recompiled the
kernel, installed the nfs-utils, and also installed nfs-kernel-service.
After these, I configured my /etc/exports like this:
/var/owr *(rw,sync)

then I chmod -R 777 /var/owr, but when I started up the nfs service:
/etc/init.d/nfs-kernel-service start

it showed me this:

* Exporting directories for NFS kernel daemon...
   ...done.
 * Starting NFS kernel daemon
   ...fail!

could anybody tell me what's wrong with this?

thanks...

Well, from the output you sent, it's obvious: it failed!
.
.
.
.
.
... now if you don't mind attaching some relevant output from
/var/log, maybe the people of this list will be able to actually help
(or maybe you will magically find the information that will allow you
to solve your problem).

I hope you are using correct version of nfs-util which matches with
your kernel version. some debugging with /etc/init.d/nfs-kernel-server
will surely help to know where is it actually failing. It happened
with me once, that this script checked for kernel symbol to find if
module is loaded by grepping for something like 'init_nfsd' within
kernel symbols and signature of this symbol changed in recent kernels
so, it failed to detect NFS server module.
