Hi, I been using Openhab for long now. And I must say I love it.
● openhab2.service - openHAB 2 - empowering the smart homehttp://docs.openhab.org https://community.openhab.org
Jul 11 11:27:15 CASA-GB start.sh[17713]: at org.eclipse.osgi.storage.Storage.getChildStorageManager(Storage.java:1760)
I see on the log:
[SEVERE] [org.apache.karaf.main.Main] - Could not launch framework
Any help will be appreciated. I am a bit desperate. All my house is controled by openhab.
Thanks

ok.let’s try to check some stuff…
java -version
Also: Try to stop OH2, clear out /var/lib/openhab2/tmp/* & /var/lib/openhab2/cache/* and start again OH2 to see if this helps.
It may be that one of your rule files contains an error. It happened to me after the upgrade that OH didn’t start any more and it was due to errors in the rule file that apparently were there all the time - but OH did not bother.
Dim:
java -version
Thanks Brend. I removed all rules and I get the same problem.
Francisco_Javier_Mor:
java -version
java version “1.8.0_131”
/var/lib/openhab2/tmp/* it is empty
Thanks Angelos for your help

I don’t know what could be going wrong…/usr/share/openhab2/start_debug.sh to see if there are more useful info posted in the openhab.log
I get this:
Launching the openHAB runtime…

That sounds as if openHAB has lost permissions to access it’s folders, if you’re running apt, then the user:group config should be set to openhab:openhab, does a sudo chown -R openhab:openhab [dir] on each of openHAB’s directories solve the problem? i.e.
sudo chown -R openhab:openhab /var/lib/openhab2
sudo chown -R openhab:openhab /usr/share/openhab2
sudo chown -R openhab:openhab /var/log/openhab2
sudo chown -R openhab:openhab /etc/openhab2
@Dim beat me to the same point

It did not work. Now I get:

I’m completely baffled, as far as you know this is a standard install of openHAB? I’ve not seen this before. I’d suggest making a backup of the /var/lib/openhab2, and /etc/openhab2 at this point just in case we need to do a purge and reinstall.
Would you be able to post the response of these commands?
ls -al /var/log/openhab2 /usr/share/openhab2/bin /var/lib/openhab2
cat /etc/default/openhab2
cat /usr/lib/systemd/system/openhab2.service
Benjy:
ls -al /var/log/openhab2 /usr/share/openhab2/bin /var/lib/openhab2
ls -al /var/log/openhab2 /usr/share/openhab2/bin /var/lib/openhab2
/var/lib/openhab2:
/var/log/openhab2:
cat /etc/default/openhab2
openHAB 2 service configuration
Additional options for the JAVA_OPTS environment variable.
These will be appended to the execution of the openHAB Java runtime in front of all other options.
A couple of independent examples:
EXTRA_JAVA_OPTS="-Dgnu.io.rxtx.SerialPorts=/dev/ttyAMA0"
EXTRA_JAVA_OPTS="-Dgnu.io.rxtx.SerialPorts=/dev/ttyUSB0:/dev/ttyS0:/dev/ttyS2:/dev/ttyACM0:/dev/ttyAMA0"
EXTRA_JAVA_OPTS="-Djna.library.path=/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/ -Duser.timezone=Europe/Berlin -Dgnu.io.rxtx.SerialPorts=/dev/ttyS0"
EXTRA_JAVA_OPTS=""
The ports openHAB will bind its HTTP/HTTPS web server to.
#OPENHAB_HTTP_PORT=8080
cat /usr/lib/systemd/system/openhab2.service
[Service]
Shutdown delay in seconds, before process is tried to be killed with KILL (if configured)
TimeoutStopSec=120
[Install]
Thanks again.
Those are the results.

Found the problem! Is there any reason why you’ve changed these settings? This by default is
User=openhab
Group=openhab
No problem, you can wrap things in ticks to format them as if they were code

I change the user long time ago, because I was getting all the time a permission problem.
I change it back to openhab, but I get this:

To be clear, you changed both the user and group to openhab?
If you restart the machine, wait a few minutes and then post the output of:
sudo systemctl daemon-reload
sudo systemctl restart openhab2
sudo journalctl -u openhab2 -b
Yes I change both.
I run the commands and I get
