Fresh seahub 11.0.2 install, seahub failed to start

Seafile Server

Hello,
I am on Debian 11, attempting a first time install of seafile and am running into an issue.
Seafile starts finde, but running the ./seahub.sh start ends with "Error: Seahub failed to start.

I changed the “Daemon=True” to “Daemon=False” in the “conf/gunicorn.conf.py” and got the resulting error:

Starting seahub at port 8000 …

How do I fix this?

Any help is appreciated, thank you for the support.

Same here while updaten from 10.* to 11.0.2 (sadly 11.0.3 is still not for download).

While upgrading I got following message:

Done

After starting seahub.sh manually in debug mode I got exactly same error. I assume some database with is or was in Pro version related to the seafevents new component (for CE users) and not in CE, that should be created as well.

The 11.0.3 release is there but the download link seems to be out-of-date. Try this link.

I used that link to get the 11.0.3 version, after installing that i still get the same error trying to start the seahub.sh

I got it to work!

I change the following in the error causing section:

/opt/seafile/seafile-server-11.0.3/seahub/seahub/utils/init .py”
Line 577

try:
EVENTS_ENABLED = True
SeafEventsSession = seafevents_api.init_db_session_class(parsed_events_conf)
except ImportError:
logging.exception(‘Failed to import seafevents package.’)
seafevents = None
EVENTS_ENABLED = False

to:

try:
    EVENTS_ENABLED = True
    SeafEventsSession = seafevents_api.init_db_session_class(parsed_events_conf)
except :
    logging.exception('Failed to import seafevents package.')
    seafevents = None
    EVENTS_ENABLED = False

Could you please check “tail -f seafile-monitor.log” if you are getting errors? I had discovered that the upgrade script upgrade_10.0_11.0.sh doesn’t work properly when you have configured to use mariadb/mysqldb with sockets instead with “host” and “port”. I have to adapt he upgrade script to write host = /run/mysqld/mysqld.sock instead of i.e. 0.0.0.0 but this was not enough because after that I got the error : sqlalchemy.exc.OperationalError: (pymysql.err.OperationalError) (1044, "Access denied for user 'seafile'@'localhost' to database 'run/mysqld/mysqld.sock:3306/seahub-db'") after starting Seafile service (note that Seafile service unit is able to start fine, but you just realize of the problem when you check the seafile-monitoring.log). This was produced because in case you don’t put any PORT entry in seafevents.conf, it will take the standard one(3306), but in my case is resulting in a malformed path. I think here is some homework to do…
after this is fixed I didn’t get anymore our mentioned error:

AttributeError: ‘NoneType’ object has no attribute ‘init_db_session_class’
    Error:Seahub failed to start.

And seahub starts fine (without cheat the python code "except ImportError:" as you mentioned. Myybe was your issue as well?

I just checked my seafile-monitor.log and seem to be getting the following error constantly:

ImportError: cannot import name ‘mapped_column’ from ‘sqlalchemy.orm’ (/home/seafile/.local/lib/python3.9/site-packages/sqlalchemy/orm/init.py)

Would this be resulting from your described error? I am using mariadb on the standard port 3306 so those parameters would match.
I do have the port = 3306 defined in my seafevents.conf with host = 127.0.0.1 currently.

I remember well having same error as you have, the one with the “mapped_column”. The issue, so far as I remember was solved installing the proper sqlalchemy python package, as described in the upgrade guide to v11.. I remember installing the same python packages for the user seafile as well. After that, restart the Seafile and Seahub service units.

Edited 16.01.2023: for sqlalchemy installation see in Github the explanation behind that.

I have a similar error, also getting the ImportError from /opt/seafile/seafile-server-11.0.3/seahub/seahub/utils/__init__.py

But for some reason I do get a popup when creation a lib printing an Error Error! and when deleting Failed to delete xxx but the action was done in the background. Doing a page refresh, the lib is created or gone so it is just an nasty issue that this misleading popup comes up.

Is this from the exception not handled correctly?

found how to solve the issue, since as I have read the OSS does not have the Events recording, commenting out the SeafEventsSession recording fixes the issue. No idea why this is not covered?
