Need help with config of the designer

Setup, Configuration and Use Beginners
1

Hi everybody,
I´m new in the world of openhab and have one prob after the other :slight_smile:
I studied many pages and comments but can´t solve it.

I can´t config the openhab designer, because I have no conf Folder.

What I have done until now:

On my raspberry pi:
apt-get update
apt-get upgrade
apt-get install oracle-java8-jdk
echo ‘deb https://openhab.ci.cloudbees.com/job/openHAB-Distribution/ws/distributions/openhab-offline/target/apt-repo/ /’ | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/openhab2.list
echo ‘deb https://openhab.ci.cloudbees.com/job/openHAB-Distribution/ws/distributions/openhab-online/target/apt-repo/ /’ | sudo tee --append /etc/apt/sources.list.d/openhab2.list
wget -qO - ‘http://www.openhab.org/keys/public-key-snapshots.asc’ | sudo apt-key add -
apt-get install apt-transport-https
apt-get update
apt-get install openhab2-online
systemctl start openhab2.service
systemctl status openhab2.service -> sollte aktiv sein
systemctl daemon-reload
systemctl enable openhab2.service
apt-get install samba samba-common-bin
systemctl restart smbd.service

On my PC:
connected the PI as a networkdrive in windows
installed the designer
installed Java

I found some tutorials that say, that I have to open the configfolder first. But there is no conf on my Pi:
root@raspberrypi:/etc/openhab2# pwd
/etc/openhab2
root@raspberrypi:/etc/openhab2# ls -l
insgesamt 44
drwxrwxr-x 2 openhab openhab 4096 Nov 16 13:34 html
drwxrwxr-x 3 openhab openhab 4096 Nov 16 13:34 icons

drwxrwxr-x 2 openhab openhab 4096 Nov 16 13:34 transform
root@raspberrypi:/etc/openhab2#

I also don´t have a addons Folder…

Can somebody help me

Thx

You did an apt-get install, so you need to look at the file locations for “Repository Installation” at

http://docs.openhab.org/installation/linux.html#file-locations

So your config files should be in /etc/openhab2 (not in a subfolder /conf)

So just try to open /etc/openhab2 in your Smarthome Designer.
If that does not work check your samba config file smb.conf if you have configured your samba share properly.

Edit: and make sure you are using the Eclipse Smarthome Designer, not the older Openhab Designer (won’t work with openHAB2)

2nd Edit:

Actually I cannot confirm that to 100%, I’m using a manual install and therefore have a different folder structure.

Thanks, I really had the open hab designer.
Now I have installed the eclipse, but it won´t start. I took the 64bit und the 64bit Java.

Here is the log, I don´t know what´s the Problem:

Do I have to install the eclipse Designer on my rpi, too?
Or can I install it on my PC

5

No, just on your desktop PC.

I’m using the 32Bit version Designer with 32Bit Java version installed on a 64Bit Windows operating system … works great.

Edit: and don’t use the snapshot 0.9 version, use the slightly older 0.8 version. 0.9 has some glitches at the moment.

6

Ah ok
Then I will follow your advice and will give a feedback

7

Oh yes,

it works. 64bit was the Problem, and the wrong designer.
Thanks

Now new Problem can wait for me, when I´m trying to make rules etc
