Beginners problem, cannot start RaZberry

Post by pemme2 »

I am a total noob when it comes to linux. I have managed to install the wheezy OS and installed RaZberry. But my problem begins when I try to access ip on my raspberry to be able to see the UI.
What am I doing wrong?

Post by pemme2 »

Don't know where to look for the problem. Wheezy is running fine and I can access internet without any problem. But when I try to enter http://192.168.1.27:8083 nothing happens. I just get an error message on the Raspberrys OS web browser that the page cannot be loaded and that cannot connect to destination. I have also tried to connect to the raspberry on my Mac with "ping ip_addr_of_the_raspberry" but no luck. Can't connect. Don't know what to do.

Installed via Root Terminal?

Post by slacker »

As well a total noob but I found that when installing through the LXTerminal it did not produce anything. Tried the IP and no luck.
Tried install with ROOT Terminal and installation/Download completed fine. Reboot and able to view server.

We all have to start at some point - My unit is 2 hours old... Still trying things!

I can access my raspb. with ssh from my Mac.
I reinstall the RaZberry in ROOT terminal and it seemed to do it ok. Rebooted. But still when I open up the browser and enter the IP nothing, only an error message.

Check...

Post by Tiptop »

Please enter "top" your terminal.
You should see an output like this:
...
PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME+ COMMAND
1663 root 20 0 175m 19m 5352 S 2.9 10.8 71:20.72 z-way-server
3815 pi 20 0 4672 1404 1024 R 1.3 0.7 0:00.09 top
...

Please notice the "z-way-server" entry which (on a naked RPi installation) should mostly be on top of this list.
You can exit top by pressing "q".

If you don't see the z-way-server process running within your system, please try the following:
cd /opt/z-way-server
ls
^^^^
You should see an output like this one:
pi@rpi1 /opt/z-way-server $ ls
automation config config.xml crash htdocs libs libzway-dev translations ZDDX z-get-tty z-get-tty-config z-way-server

If this is the case, installation seems to be fine, so far.
Probably the automatic startup of the server is broken, in your case.

If so, first of all try the following:
cd /opt/z-way-server
sudo bash
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/opt/z-way-server/libs
./z-way-server

If everything works, you should see A LOT of debugging output.
If so, connect to your RPi using your web browser at :8083
This should help you for the moment to bring up the server for testing.

If really the startup is broken, the installation seemed to have some problems writing the /etc/rc files...

Did you really use the latest raspbian? I had a rather old version on my RPi and the autostart didn't work, either.
Using the latest (2013-02-09-wheezy-raspbian.zip) version, the installation works without problems, here.

Greets,

Stefan

Please try to access the page

Post by PoltoS »

Please try to access the page from a normal computer (Mac, Linux, Windows) using Chrome, Firefox or Safari.

Raspberry has some striped version of browsers and is not capable to open our UI for some reasons. We have not investigate this yet.

Thanks to Stefan, his answers are very professional!

Re-install with new Raspberry img.

Post by bengthaugland »

I had this exact issue when installing for the first time. The mistake was to use an older Raspbian image I had lying around.

After updating with latest version of Raspbian the installation went smooth. Thank you Stefan!

All appears fine, but won't start

Post by slowcooked »

Got the install and can see all the /opt/z-way-server files with the executable being an ELF 32-bit LSB executable dynamically linked, etc. Perms are 776 with user pi/group pi.

/etc/init.d/Z-Way start shows "Starting Z-Way: done."
No process is spawned, no listener on 8083.

Reboot is the same. I see a pid file entry, but not the pid itself.
I'm getting an odd response trying to execute /opt/z-way-server/z-way-server directly - No such file or directory. My strace shows this also with an illegal seek:
root@raspberrypi:/opt/z-way-server# strace z-way-server
execve("/opt/z-way-server/z-way-server", ["z-way-server"], [/* 19 vars */]) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
dup(2) = 3
fcntl64(3, F_GETFL) = 0x20002 (flags O_RDWR|O_LARGEFILE)
fstat64(3, {st_mode=S_IFCHR|0600, st_rdev=makedev(136, 0), ...}) = 0
mmap2(NULL, 4096, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1, 0) = 0xb6fbf000
_llseek(3, 0, 0xbea8e388, SEEK_CUR) = -1 ESPIPE (Illegal seek)
write(3, "strace: exec: No such file or di"..., 40strace: exec: No such file or directory
) = 40
close(3) = 0
munmap(0xb6fbf000, 4096) = 0
exit_group(1) = ?

I even redirected the install script and ran it with "sh -x" and it completed without errors.

make sure that
file /opt/z-way-server/z-way-server
and
file /bin/ls
returns same processor type and little/big endian.

Cant access the controller

Post by pbergman111 »

Installed all the software, looks to be installed right. Same results as described above so I looked at the logs and the log seems to report that the controller is not responding.
