Centos – varnishd: command not found

centosvarnish

New machine running CentOS 5.6, httpd & mysql installed and operational.
I've installed Varnish through yum without any error but I'm unable to run the varnished

For example, if I want to run the following command as seen on the Varnish-wiki:

varnishd -f /usr/local/etc/varnish/default.vcl -s malloc,1G -T 127.0.0.1:2000 -a 0.0.0.0:8080

I'm prompted with the following response -bash: varnishd: command not found

Running varnishadm works and results in Child in state running, confirming that varnish is indeed running.

I've tried all of the above with sudoas well but no avail.
I do not have root access on this machine, could that be what's causing this? Any other things I can check?

On my CentOS system varnishd is /usr/sbin/varnishd. Check that your PATH has /usr/sbin in it.

echo $PATH
/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin

export PATH=$PATH:/usr/sbin
which varnishd
/usr/sbin/varnishd

echo $PATH

It should match what you listed above from 'which' and does not include /sbin which seems to imply you elevated your privileges but kept the environment from your normal user?

How do you login to this box usually? Are you doing 'su' or 'su -' to elevate?

If you're logging in as root directly then you want to look at your shell configuration. Probably this will be Bash so peek at ~/.bash_profile and ~/.bashrc to see if PATH is defined, if not then the system-wide defaults in /etc will apply to your session.

As a quick fix, this should work:

export PATH="/usr/local/sbin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:${PATH}"

All that does is add /sbin to your PATH environment variable, and it is not permanent across login sessions. You'd need to find where PATH is defined (see above) to fix for good.

Centos – cp: command not found

It is the problem, and you trashed it yourself with the line

export PATH=.:/usr/java/jre1.6.0_16/bin

Stop trashing it, and you should be fine. You might want to do

export PATH=${PATH}:/usr/java/jre1.6.0_16/bin:.

instead. I personally don't like having . in the PATH, but if you're sure you need it, leave it in.
