Having installed openhab with the instructions from here:
I fail to connect to the server using url http://openhab:8080/ above
I get the error message;
HTTP ERROR 404
Problem accessing /start/index. Reason:
Not Found
I must be overlooking something simple but I don’t understand what it is.
On the rasberry pi where I have all running I get this when I check for the service itself
pi@OpenHab:~ $ sudo systemctl status openhab2.service
● openhab2.service - openHAB 2 - empowering the smart home
Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/openhab2.service; enabled; vendor pre

Dec 24 23:18:58 OpenHab systemd[1]: Started openHAB 2 - empowering the smart hom
lines 1-12/12 (END)
Any thoughts on what part I have forgotten?
The installation guide is referring to a config file but whatever I try…I never have access to these folders. I’m logging in to the server itself with my pi (admin) user.
Any hints are appreciated. Linux is not my cup-of-tea (yet) but I’m learning by doing this.
Try replacing “openhab” with the actual ip address or hostname. The service is running allright but is there something in the logs? /var/log/openhab2/…
Even if I do this on the server itself…I get the error message.
What is clear is that the linux machine is returning with the answer…accept that it does not find anything. Is there something I have missed in the setup?
Have you tried the old “reboot everything” gimmick?
I was also going to say that it takes a good long while for openHAB to boot all the way up to the point of presenting any UIs (tons of Java stuff) (as opposed to just the service being started in Linux) but from your quote it looks like you waited like an hour and a half already.
Not sure what else to look into without more info. So yeah, like Miguel said, logs…
I have rebooted the server multiple times. Even start and stopped the service.
The openhab log, however, is remarkable emtpy…this is all it has.

I would give two tips just to make sure you are getting the response from openHAB.
Connect to your web browser on port 8080 not the response.
2 shutdown openHAB service and try to connect again see if response changes.
My reason for this would be to verify that openHAB is what’s responding on port 8080. We want to make sure another service is not responding. If it were then telling you that start/index does not exist would be true.
Can you point me to these discussions? I use IPv6 as much as possible and haven’t encountered any problems beside misconfigurations. From wan side my system is only accessible with IPv6.
I didn’t bookmark them, just remembered reading that changing to IPv4 solved the issue. Honestly can’t remember if the issue was website related or not just thought I would throw it out there as somthing OP could consider/try if nothing else is working.
I will try and remember to send you a link when/if I run across a post related to IPv6 and issues.
Result: I have exactly the same issue as described in this thread:
HTTP ERROR 404
Problem accessing /start/index. Reason:
Not Found
with a very limited log similar to that of nc1264 with the info line
[INFO ] [.dashboard.internal.DashboardService] - Stopped Dashboard
I’ve spend 3 hours looking around the internet and tried everything already (restart service, machine, cleared cache, …).
Nothing works. And this should be a non-complicated install. I’m not migrating any data here: it’s a clean first-time install.
Because I’m on a VM and took a snapshot before installing :-), I rolled-back anc installed exactly the same setup but with OpenHAB 2.4.0-1
–> worked like a charm out of the box !!!
I’ve upgraded it to 2.5.0 and exactly the same as before.
Does anybody have a working (clean) OpenHAB 2.5 with zulu-8 on Ubuntu server 18.04.3? I’m starting to think this particular combination has an issue.
Thanks in advance for your help,
Actually looking forward to working with OpenHAB.
Yeah, maybe something is going on with that combination.
And yeah, you are going to love it. Hang in there through the learning curve though. You get your head around the relationships between items, channels, things, etc.?
The other thing is that there are multiple different ways to do things, multiple interfaces, and they are not all exactly the same (feature parity).
Those were probably my two biggest stumbling blocks, especially the latter. But maybe you are smarter than me.
Apparently some people have installed the bindings package causing issues. It is normally not needed. IT is only for systems unable to access the public Internet to update.
I ran the commands you mentioned and low and behold…the website is up and running!
Thank you very much for your help. I would not have found this myself.
I haven’t installed the addons yet…but I will certainly try it. At least now I know how to resolve this.
as one port is for http and the other is https.
Welcome!
