Web does not start (:8080 does not respond)

aik · March 2, 2018, 1:45pm

OrangePi, Ubuntu 16.04.4 LTS

Installed openhab2 via repos:

sudo apt-get install openhab2 openhab2-addons oracle-java8-installer

All good, works, can connect to :8080 on a Pi and see the web interface. But then I picked not “standard” but “1.x” package. I could not find an easy way to revert but no big deal, I thought, let’s reinstall it. So:

sudo systemctl stop openhab2.service
sudo systemctl disable openhab2.service
sudo apt-get remove openhab2 openhab2-addons openhab* java-common
sudo apt-get autoremove
sudo rm -rf /var/log/openhab*
sudo rm -rf /var/lib/openhab*
sudo rm -rf /etc/openhab*
find /etc -iname '*openhab*' -exec sudo rm -rf {} \;

Then re-added openhab2.list (find+rm killed it ), and:

sudo apt-get install openhab2 openhab2-addons oracle-java8-installer
sudo systemctl start openhab2.service

The status is alright:

aik@aikopi:~$ sudo systemctl status openhab2.service

Mar 03 00:23:34 aikopi systemd[1]: Started openHAB 2 - empowering the smart home.

‘top’ shows dozens of threads from ‘/usr/bin/java -Dopenhab.home=/usr/share/openhab2 ...’.
’ps ax | grep 8080’ shows ‘/usr/bin/java -Dopenhab.home=/usr/share/openhab2 ...’.
But netstat does not see any listener on 8080 and therefore the webinterface does not open.
The log is:

aik@aikopi:~$ cat /var/log/openhab2/openhab.log

What went wrong here? How to fix this and get http back? Thanks.

In future, to get rid of everything openHAB 2 related (including configuration files), you’ll find it easier to use:

sudo apt-get purge openhab2*

Otherwise, the log looks a bit suspicious (not in the format I recognise and doesn’t talk about the interface at all. What is the output of the two commands:

openhab-cli showinfo
sudo journalctl -u openhab2.service -b

?

Okay, I see what’s happened.

When you manually deleted the files but didn’t use purge, DPKG thinks that this is as configuration you wanted for the userdata folder and it hasn’t loaded the files back in.

sudo apt-get -o Dpkg::Options::="--force-confask" -o Dpkg::Options::="--force-confmiss" --reinstall install openhab2
