Recently I have been setting up a Seafile home server, So I used the Digital Ocean Tutorial (Cannot provide a link), And everything went relatively smoothly until I got to the part where I had to run Seahub where I got this error.
Starting seahub at port 8000 …
Error:Seahub failed to start.
Please try to run “./seahub.sh start” again
I checked the log file for seahub but it was completely empty, so being new to seafile I am hoping that someone here knows what is wrong. Thank you!
You can also modify conf/gunicorn.conf , change daemon = True to daemon = False , then run ./seahub.sh again. If there are missing Python dependencies, the error will be reported in the terminal.
Hey I did that and found that I was missing a dependency which after installing it I no longer got an error and it ran. But now I have a new issue which is that I cannot access the website, I checked the firewall and even tried turning it off to test if it was the issue but no luck. I also tried fully reinstalling Seafile but I keep running into the same issue.
I found that after running a wget command the website is accessible locally from the server but when I try to connect using another computer on the same network I get no response. Output to the wget command:
