Error:Seahub failed to start. Try again

Seafile Server
1

Hello everyone,

I am not new to Seafile and have like 11 servers that run without any issues for more then 6 years.
Because one of the servers is running out of storages, I want to replace it with a new server with bigger storage.
The new server is in testing mode with the following base layout.

  • Ubuntu 18.04 LTS
  • Database Server MariaDB (localhost)
  • Seafile version 7.1.4
  • Python Tools (installed)
  • Nginx (NOT installed yet)

The installation has ended successfully without errors. (setup-seafile-mysql.sh)
Starting Seafile.sh, success no problem.

Starting Seahub.sh, will not start !!!

On normal start I get a error:

/srv/seafile/seafile-server-latest# ./seahub.sh start
Starting seahub at port 8000 ...
Error:Seahub failed to start.
Please try to run "./seahub.sh start" again

On fastcgi start I get a error: (yes I know fastcgi is not supported anymore)

/srv/seafile/seafile-server-latest# ./seahub.sh start-fastcgi
Starting seahub (fastcgi) at 127.0.0.1:8000 ...

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'captcha'
Error:Seahub failed to start.

Over the past 2 days, I have installed the server over and over with different layouts but the problem remains.
I also tried to install the captcha MODULE but the problem remains.
And the Seahub.LOG is empty.

Is there anyone for help?

Did you install the required dependencies for 7.1.*?

seahub.LOG still empty

Axstet,
