Karaf.Feature issues after update to 2.3

Setup, Configuration and Use Installation
1

Hi,

I had an Openhab 2.2 installation running on a Pi3 - this run for quite some time.
After the upgrade to 2.3 the dashboard is down (including everything else). So I can’t reach any of the Openhab related services; Grafana for example is working.

The log wasn’t written for a long time but via navigating though several posts I was able to get ‘something’ back - and thats where I’m stuck currently.

So the log shows just this:

2018-05-29 22:24:02.272 [WARN ] [raf.features.internal.osgi.Activator] - Error starting activator

Although its just a warning its the only thing that points to an issue

openhab-cli info provides this:

Version:     2.3.0 (Build)

             https://192.168.1.5:8443

I have no idea where to start looking currently. I ran the manual installer several times but without success.
As mentioned none of the URLs is reachable - although the service is running.

Any ideas

I will take a wild guess and say that your jsondb files are corrupted (I hope not)
check /var/lib/openhab2/jsondb/ (and backup subfolder) and try to play around with them to see if things improve.

If my guess is true: you need to backup all of your configs and check for file-system health.

Mhhh,

so checked the json file within the jsondb folder - but found at least no formatting or EoF issue. Syntax via Notepad++ and Samba checked, later on stored with Nano.

Then I restored a backup (of those files) from last week - but also no change/ success.

I also cleared the cache multiple times by now, forgot to mention this yesterday. But no change. Dashboard and anything related stays dead, Grafana is ok (so its related to OH)
