[Nut-upsuser] Installing Powercom BNT-2000AP on CentOS 5.6

[Jonathan Borg]

Hi Guys,

Am a Linux newbie and need some help setting up this UPS with NUT on Cent
OS 5.6. So basically I have the following packages installed with yum:

libusb-devel-0.1.12-5.1.x86_64
libusb-devel-0.1.12-5.1.i386
libusb-0.1.12-5.1.x86_64
libusb-0.1.12-5.1.i386
nut-2.2.2-1.el5.x86_64

When I run service ups start I get the following:

Starting UPS driver controller:                            [FAILED]
Starting upsd:                                             [  OK  ]
Starting UPS monitor (master):                             [  OK  ]

Broadcast message from nut (Sun Nov 13 20:47:31 2011):
Communications with UPS pcom at localhost lost

When I run /sbin/upsdrvctl start pcom I get the following:

Network UPS Tools - UPS driver controller 2.2.2
Network UPS Tools: 0.29 USB communication driver - core 0.33 (2.2.2)

No matching HID UPS found
Driver failed to start (exit status=1)

and when I run lsusb I can see the UPS that it is hooked up

Bus 005 Device 002: ID 0d9f:0004 Powercom Co., Ltd


I am outputting the directory /etc/ups using ls -l
total 32
-rwxrwxrwx 1 root root    18 Nov 13 19:46 nut.conf
-rwxrwxrwx 1 root nut   3625 Nov 13 19:30 ups.conf
-rwxrwxrwx 1 root nut   2009 Nov 13 19:46 upsd.conf
-rwxrwxrwx 1 root nut   2250 Nov 13 19:01 upsd.users

-rwxrwxrwx 1 root nut   3891 Mar 23  2011 upssched.conf

ups.conf:
user = root
[pcom]
        driver=usbhid-ups
        port=auto
        productid=0004

upsmon.conf

upsdrvctl start pcom -DDDDD
Network UPS Tools - UPS driver controller 2.2.2
Network UPS Tools: 0.29 USB communication driver - core 0.33 (2.2.2)

No matching HID UPS found
Driver failed to start (exit status=1)

Am not sure how to tackle the problem... Maybe it is permissions - related.

Any help please?

Jon
