[Buildbot-devel] something wrong with testpath in master.cfg

[Jickae Davis]

Hi, guys, I'm new to buildbot.
I got an error while starting my buildbot with master.cfg directly renamed
from  the default master.cfg.sample.
Could everyone tell me why?

FYI, here's the output:

Following twistd.log until startup finished..
/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/buildbot/scripts/logwatcher.py:48:
PotentialZombieWarning: spawnProcess called, but the SIGCHLD handler is not
installed. This probably means you have not yet called reactor.run, or
called reactor.run(installSignalHandler=0). You will probably never see this
process finish, and it may become a zombie process.

2009-07-01 17:34:15+0800 [-] The new config file is unusable, so I'll ignore
it.
2009-07-01 17:34:15+0800 [-] I will keep using the previous config file
instead.
The buildmaster appears to have encountered an error in the master.cfg
config
file during startup. It is probably running with an empty configuration
right
now. Please inspect and fix master.cfg, then restart the buildmaster.
