Unable to start openhab. After I cleared the cache and tmp folders in an attempt to resolve connection issue with the openhab cloud, I became unable to start my openhab server. I keep getting error messages about the startup script being unable to reach some network resources, even though my machine is online. See attached log. I have no idea what the problem is. Thanks in advance for your help with this.

Well I think this is because it seems that bintray is down.
Right now you cannot do anything, just wait. If you want to stay on openHAB 2.X, you should pre-download the addons (apt install openhab2-addons) because this repo will not be accessible after 1st of May AFAIK.

Yes there is a scheduled brownout today to remind everyone of Bintray sunsetting:

OK, understood. Thanks for your input.

I suppose that the bintray is back now.

I tried to restart my system, but I am getting the following error message:

I tried to fix that by downloading the “openhab 2.12.5 Stable addons kar” file. Deeply embedded in there, I found a file named “org.openhab.io.homekit-2.5.12.jar” and I placed a copy of it in my addons folder. Unfortunately, that did not aappear to resolve the problem reported in the log.

Any ideas?

Maybe try putting the .kar file in your /addons dir so you can still install add-ons after May 1st, when Bintray is no longer available. If you use an APT based install you probably want to install the openhab2-addons package to do just that. Or if you use openHABian, you can probably do that using some menu option with openhabian-config
