Sitemap Missing After Update

Hello Paul from South Africa here.

My Openhab2 System has been running very well now for well over two months now , that was until this morning. I am running a Lubuntu Os and it asked me if I wanted to install the update so , stupid me, I said yes. After the update Openhab cant see the home.sitemap file. I did not change anything in the settings.
If I run Habpanel my Items is still there but the moment I open the classic page I get
"javax.servlet.ServletException: Sitemap ‘home’ could not be found"
The sitemap file is located in the /etc/openhab2/sitemaps folder with the name home.sitemap
The owner and group is openhab so I just dont know what else I am missing.
Any Ideas ?
Best regards
Paul

Hello Paul from South Africa! It’s just amazing to see people from all over the world using openHAB.

My first guess would be there is a syntax error in your sitemap file. In that case this would be the normal behavior. With openHAB 2.1 the config file validation got a bit stricter, you “slightly incorrect” sitemap could now be seen as wrong.

Check the openhab.log for errors related to your sitemap. This might be close: grep "home.sitemap" /var/log/openhab2/openhab.log

Good luck!!

Hey Thom

Sorry forgot to say I was running Openhab2 from the beginning , but I will get the log file .

Regards
Paul

Ok would this be of any help ?

Hmmm not really. Yet again this error clearly tells me that your sitemap has a problem. Check it for syntax errors in the Eclipse Smarthome Designer.

Hey Thom , you are write there is a issue with the syntax , crazy thing is I did not change anything (as far as I know).

Would you mind having a look and see if something “jumps” out?

Please use the Smarthome Designer to check your syntax. I could do that for you but where would be the fun in that!? :wink:

Also whenever you post code in the forum, please don’t just throw it in here. There are code fences buttons in the editor toolbar for that :wink:

Yes one thing. Where is the { that should be in the first line?

Ha ha , I didn’t even know about the designer. Let me get that first and begin with that.

Thanks for the help Thom!!

Hi @ThomDietrich

Ok as you predicted Smarthome Designer showed that there were a couple of silly syntax errors in my sitemap , all were “{” errors. Atleast now I know of Smarthome Designer so I will not need to work with note pad again :sweat_smile: .

Thank you for your assistance!!

No problem :wink:

Btw the documentation can be found here: http://docs.openhab.org/installation/designer.html
