HomeTroller-SEL does not start up - Sorted!

[bobgott]

I was changing some settings in the Setup screen when all of a sudden the application just stopped running. Shutoff/Started HometrollerSEL .. and still the application does not work.

localhost on console .. reports 'Webpage Not Available'. All internet connections seem to be working correctly.

I don't have a clue where to start looking (can't find documentation to locate all HomeSeer log files in linux). I am attaching startup file .. but did not see any error messages.

Can someone give me some help ASAP

[Pete]

I do not see anything of interest in the log other than maybe the IFTTT plugin has disconnected message.

Try renaming the plugin such that it doesn't start with Homeseer and see what happens.

You can enable a developer debug mode on the plugins GUI page and manually start Homeseer and watch with a bit more granularity in an SSH session.

1 - SSH to Homeseer SEL

root@ICS-HomeTrollerZEE:~# cd /usr/local/HomeSeer
root@ICS-HomeTrollerZEE:/usr/local/HomeSeer# ./go

2 - watch your SSH terminal console en vivo.

You will see something there when Homeseer shuts down by itself.

Note I am running V125 of HSPro on Linux. I didn't even know there was a V138 of HS3 Pro for Linux yet.

Well, Pete .. seconds before I saw your reply .. I got myself back up and running by ...

Taking the contents of '/usr/local/HomeSeer/ConfigBackup/Config.zip' and copying and overwriting to the folder '/usr/local/HomeSeer/Config'.

All is working well (whew!)

So ... my conclusion in mucking around with some variables in the Setup or Network screen .. I made the application inaccessible (but probably running).

I'm not sure what change caused the problem .. but I'll leave that up to the HS folks. If anyone cares .. I did keep the files from the Config directory that caused the problem .. hence I could zip them up and send them up somewhere.

[bobgott]

fyi .. Well, I just duplicated the problem (and its a bigee).

When I went to the Email tab of setup and click on 'Check Email' .. I got a page is refreshing .. then everything seemed to crash.

I did that in my original action .. guessing that might be the culprit.

Good news Bob!

Thank you for telling us users what it was you did to fix your issue.

Historically while helping some other users with HS3 have seen that the Z-Wave files get mucked up and restoring these seem to bring some stability back to Homeseer.

Here going really slow with HS3 testing one plugin at a time.

I have yet to test any email functions (with the ZeeLite or Homeseer Pro running on Linux).

Should I open a ticket with this bug?

Should I open a ticket with this bug?

Absolutely. You may want to see if this has been listed as fixed in one of the latest betas as well.

Where can I find info on the latest HometrollerSEL beta releases (excuse my ignorance)

[Pete]

I had issues last night finding the newest Linux HS3 betas. I am aware that the releases are not sync'd to the Wintel beta updates.

Originally; and now cannot find it would see all of the betas posted in one post by Rich. I know its still somewhere here.

[bobgott]

I'll keep my eyes open for a beta section .. hopefully its someplace logical.

btw, I posted this bug to the Help Desk. So my work is done here. However, I'm a tad nervous about testing anything the Setup menus. This is the second time I've blown away HometrollerSEL by experimenting (the first time was modifying WiFi parameters).

[Pete]

Here is V.128. Afterwards do not see the Linux betas.

A wireless gotcha would / could be making a change remotely concurrent with some wireless disconnect.

Yeah; here just going really slow with Homeseer 3.
