Nut upsuser - Aug 2005 - problems from a starter

I have installed nut 2.0

 

Var/log/messages:

Aug 14 16:37:26 server kernel: hiddev96: USB HID v1.10 Device [American
Power Conversion Back-UPS BF500 FW:814.s3.I  USB FW:s3] on
usb-0000:00:1d.0-1

Aug 14 16:37:26 server kernel: hub 5-0:1.0: USB hub found

Aug 14 16:37:26 server kernel: hub 5-0:1.0: 2 ports detected

 

My ups.conf : [APC350]

driver = apcsmart

port = /dev/usb/hidddev96

desc = "APC UPS"

 

 

[root@server etc]# /usr/local/ups/bin/upsdrvctl start

Network UPS Tools - UPS driver controller 2.0.2

Network UPS Tools (version 2.0.2) - APC Smart protocol driver

        Driver version 1.99.7, command table version 2.0

 

Unable to open /dev/usb/hidddev96: No such file or directory

 

Things to try:

 

 - Check 'port=' in ups.conf

 

 - Check owner/permissions of all parts of path

 

Fatal error: unusable configuration

Driver failed to start (exit status=1)         

 

 

What must I change to get it work

 

Greetings 

 

Herman

from "man apcsmart":

'apcsmart should recognize all recent APC models that use a serial
protocol at 2400 bps.  This is primarily the Smart-UPS, Matrix-UPS and
Back-UPS Pro lines.'

Note that your equipment is USB, not serial.

Also, you have a typo here (hidddev96 vs hiddev96).

But you probably want to try the newhidups driver instead (which,
incidentally, does not require a 'port=' in ups.conf).

This is what I have in /etc/nut/ups.conf:

[evo]
        driver = newhidups
        port = auto
        pollinterval = 15

The "port" parameter can be anything.
