Cannot connect to Serviio server on Ubuntu 14.04

Hello,

I have Serviio installed for couple of weeks and it was working for me just fine, but since couple of days I cannot run it. I ge the error message "Cannot connect to Serviio server, it does not seem to be running. Exiting"

I read some previous posts on the topic here and it seems Java as the problem in some cases. Mine is up to date - version 8 update 31.

I tried to provide log details, but I seem to have 3 log files: serviio.log, serviio.log.1 and serviio.log.2, all three f them however contain data only from 28.01.2015.. so nothing to post, actually..

I will appreciate any help or advice. Thanks a lot!

So the server doesn't start probably, not even to write anything to the log. Check how you're starting the server.

I start it manually, running the .sh files. Like I mentioned, it used to work without problems couple of weeks ago..
I tried also to run it in terminal, but there is no difference.

Is there another way of starting it? Something I can try?

Thanks!

when you start it, do you see the java process running?

  Code:

ps aux | grep serviio

Hi,

can you explain this ? (i'm a beginner on Linux sorry)

Serviio run perfectly.
But :

How to launch serviio with SSH ?
Because i can run Serviio with local command line only.

In shh :

  Code:

screen -S "Serviio" ./serviio.sh

it's OK

  Code:

screen -S "Servio-console" ./serviio-console.sh

doesn't run (no display i supose ? )

when you start it, do you see the java process running?

  Code:

ps aux | grep serviio

when I execute the above code, I get the following in the terminal:

  Code:

14681  0.0  0.0   4940   852 pts/0    S+   21:26   0:00 grep --color=auto serviio

And I do not see Java in the running proccesses.

I tried to run in terminal

  Code:

bash serviio.sh

and I got the following result.

  Code:

log4j:ERROR setFile(null,true) call failed.

To be honest, I am not sure what the above means - I am quite new to Linux.. But I hope it gives some information that could help solve my issue..

Thanks again for looking into this!

Looks like you have a file permission problem, as it's unable to access the derby.log file. Running as a different user maybe? Perform an "ls -al" in the log directory to see permissions.

Hi,
I have the same problem with Serviio 1.4.1.2 on Ubuntu 12.04. It was working fine and suddenly (after an Ubuntu update??) it does not start anymore.
Any suggestion what I can do?
Thanks
Renate
