Openhab2 won't start after upgrade

Anyone having problems Can you try running the following lines and let me know if this works. I would still recommend that you do not upgrade until the install packages have been fixed. mv /usr/share/openhab2/runtime/karaf/etc/* /var/lib/openhab2/etc/ sudo sed -i -e 's|/usr/share/openhab2/runtime/karaf/bin/|/usr/share/openhab2/runtime/bin/|g' /etc/init.d/openhab2 /usr/lib/systemd/system/openhab2.service sudo sed -i -e 's|OPENHAB_USERDATA="${OPENHAB_HOME}/userdata"|OPENHAB_USERDATA="/var/lib/ope…

i have the same issue with the windows-version. after updating from v2.0 to v2.1 via powershell, OH dont start.

How did you upgrade, did you use the upgrade scripts?

yes. i used the update-guide.

This issue (to which you replied) really seems linux specific, so I think that the cause is different. Maybe a good reason to create a new topic instead,

What output do you get, do you have any errors in the log?

[cyphoro (Chris T)]

the logs under userdata/log are from june 2017. unfortunately i cant find other logs. and i dont see an output. the command-line starts for half a second and then closes.

i execute the “update openhab” cmlet again and now it works. thanks for ur help anyway.
