Hello Community,

I had a working installation of openHAB. It appears to have broken after installing InfluxDB and Grafana. Does anyone have any ideas what may be going on and how to fix it?

I would start troubleshooting by first cleaning the cache and rebooting. This sometimes will fix the issue.

sudo systemclt stop openhab

sudo openhab-cli clean-cache

sudo reboot

Hi @H102,

That doesn’t seem to have made a difference. What steps do you suggest next. I’ve premptively tried uninstalling and reinstalling Openhab, but that too does not appear to have made a difference.

I don’t use InfluxDB and Grafana so I’m not really sure. I will try and help search for a similar issue with a solution.

I solved it. The command java -version was actually generating something along these lines.

libjli.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

In retrospect, I vaguely remember that this file was upgraded after sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade, which I ran immediately before installing influx and grafana.

I solved the problem by reinstalling Java.
