Openhab 2.2 stable upgrade errors

Hello,
I’ve just upgraded to 2.2 stable using openhabian.
since than openhab looks active (service is up).
there is no UI nor karaf… (karaf said it started but the port 8101 not opened - before the upgrade I didn’t have any problem to connect to it).
In the logs I see:

(END)

I have the neato addon, but even when I’m removing it from the directory I still get an error (since I have neato thing configured with the PaperUI)…
This is the error without the addons:

Any ideas?

Hello @Ahiel,
I’m not sure about the source of the error (surely the manually added neato binding has something to do with it) but the following steps should help you get your openHAB instance up and running again:

  1. Remove the neato binding (till openHAB is back up)
  2. Execute sudo apt remove openhab2 (will delete the openHAB binaries but not the configuration)
  3. Execute sudo openhabian-config, Select “Update”, then “Exit”
  4. Execute sudo openhabian-config, Select “openHAB 2.2.0 stable”
  5. (Bonus:) Select “Apply Improvements”->“Fix Permissions”

Wait for a few minutes. openHAB 2.2 should start normally

Please try to document your steps exactly so we have the chance to improve the upgrade process for users to come!

I saw also issues with the neato-binding but i have also i different (not connected?) issue with 2.2 stable:

i removed&reinstalled openhab 2.2 and the issue is not gone…any ideas? thx :slight_smile:

Hello @magicofit, could you please tell us the language your system/browser is operating with?

Are you able to access http://openhab-device-ip:8080/paperui/index.html

Ok thank you!
Now openhab and karaf is up.
In the logs I see those errors (binding addon (installed previously with PaperUI):

Yes! http://openhab-device-ip:8080/paperui/index.html is accessable to me (this makes me a little happy ^^)
system/browser is operating with german (de-DE)

Hello,
tried to upgrade to 2.2.0.1 stable too (on Debian Stretch 64bit) and hat a lot of problems. Openhab2 didn’t start anymore, it looped all the time. Starting all services and automatically stopping all of them.

I did a backup of the config and delete alle Openhab-directories and packages. After that I tried a new/fresh installation on the same os and it get worse.

Openhab do not start anymore, it hangs all the time with the following log entries:Dez 18, 2017 9:13:12 PM org.apache.karaf.main.lock.SimpleFileLock lock

A little help would be great.

Try to reinstall it (Openhab 2.2 stable upgrade errors - as mentioned here)

I`m using Debian-Stretch with x86 cpu, not a raspberry…

Same here. Did an upgrade from 2.1 stable to 2.2 stable and nothing is starting. Completely removed the openhab2 and restinalled two times but nothing. Nothing on the openhab logs which tells me that the application does not even starting. The only thing I see is the following in syslog

I think the main issue is with Karaf

start.sh[5790]: KARAF_BASE is not valid: /usr/share/openhab2/userdata

The discussion here did not solve it

Edit: Actually checking the path mentioned in the error message I see that /usr/share/openhab2/userdata does not exist !

pi@raspberrypi:/usr/share/openhab2 $ pwd
/usr/share/openhab2
pi@raspberrypi:/usr/share/openhab2 $ ls
addons  LICENSE.TXT  runtime  start_debug.sh  start.sh

Not sure how this has happened

What is the output of

openhab-cli info

?

As I mentioned in the edit of my post above I see clearly that the path /usr/share/openhab2/userdata does not exist!

It shouldn’t exist. The userdata folder should be pointing towards /var/lib/openhab2 as your last command shows correctly.

Does the command:

sudo chown -R openhab:openhab /usr/share/openhab2

help at all?

Currently the folder is owned by root

drwxr-xr-x   4 root root  4096 Dec 18 22:20 openhab2

I changed it to openhab as you suggested but still the same

Ah I’ve found the problem. For some reason you’re not using the service file provided by the installation we need to point towards the correct service file:

sudo systemctl disable openhab2 
sudo systemctl daemon-reload
sudo systemctl enable openhab2.service
sudo systemctl start openhab2.service

Not sure how you found that :slight_smile: I do not remember changing the service file to be honest.

In any case I tried it but still the same issue …

I know this is a service issue because the service is trying to use start.sh, which the systemd files don’t use. It looks like it’s using a really old version of a sysvinit script. So let’s try to disable that too:

sudo systemctl disable openhab2 
sudo update-rc.d openhab2 disable
sudo systemctl daemon-reload
sudo systemctl enable openhab2.service
sudo systemctl start openhab2.service 

If we can stop it from updating from update-rc.d then I’m confident that it’ll start.

You know a lot better than me so I trust you :slight_smile:
It is very strange that I am using an old version of that script. Isn’t that being updated ?

I am using openhab on raspbian by the way not openhabian

I still get the same issue

Edit: Checking your other post I see that you suggested the command

sudo openhab-cli start --debug

This starts up karaf and openhab. If I exit and then try the above commands the service still does not start with the same errors

Eek, I’m sure this must be frustrating for you.

Is the what the service file should look like (notice that the exec start is karaf, not start.sh). Can you confirm that this exists in /usr/lib/systemd/system/openhab2.service

It is but I have no demands for an opensource software :slight_smile:

Yes it looks correct I had already checked it while googling the error
