Seahub failed to start (SYNTAX ERROR)

Seafile Server
1

I followed this guide and everything went well until the end the guide was from linux dot com (how to install seafile server run private cloud)

This is the error I’m getting when trying to start seahub

root@illaspire:/var/www/sea/seafile-server-6.2.5# /var/www/sea/seafile-server-latest/./seahub.sh start-fastcgi

Any suggestions? Thanks in advance!

I am no expert but I have got a seafile server running well. A few thoughts:

  1. I thought fastcgi was not supported now so you might want to drop the -fastcgi switch when you start up

  2. I don’t think your FILE_SERVER_ROOT = ‘192.168.0.29/seafhttp’ statement is right. The ^ gives it away. The community manual has an example of FILE_SERVER_ROOT = ‘http://192.168.1.2/seafhttp’ you have no http:// in it so try FILE_SERVER_ROOT = 'http://192.168.0.29/seafhttp’

Good luck!
