Installation Problem - Zwave

Post by phaze3131 »

I follow the directions here:
http://www.homeautomationforgeeks.com/o ... wave.shtml

Which say to install zwave using this:
wget -q -O - http://razberry.z-wave.me/install | sudo bash

(it puts a folder "z-way-server" in /opt and inside that folder is the "green" "z-way-server" file)

Reboot, then access the zwave server here:

myip:8083

But that doesn't bring up the UI.

Also when I go to stop the zwave server by doing this:
sudo service z-way-server stop

I get this error:
Stopping z-way-server: rm: cannot remove `/var/run/z-way-server.pid': No such file or directory

thanks for all the help

Which Z-Wave controller do you use? RaZberry or Zwave.me UZB1

Check if the server has started at all, by listing the processes. Sounds like it's not even started and then you'll of course not see the UI and not be able to stop it. Maybe you'll see some errors in the log, so check that as well.

Edit: I ran "ps axg" and didn't see anything zwave related.

Razberry module

Yea i'm pretty sure the process is not starting, but I'm not sure how to list all processes. I will research that.

So assuming the process is not starting, how would I go about starting it?


When I go into the zwave installation folder in /opt/z-way-server/ and run "sudo ./z-way-server" I get this error.

I attached the screenshot showing the error.

Thanks for all the help.

try

Code: Select all

/etc/init.d/z-way-server start
if this doesn't work try

Code: Select all

LD_LIBRARY_PATH=libs ./z-way-server
to see what the console says. I had some problems with a shared object library and had to make a soft link to another version of the same .so, but I think it was libarchive.so.
