Hi. I have a Community Edition of Seafile (version 6.3.4) running on Raspbian Stretch for a couple of months with no issues. A view days ago, while uploading a large file via the browser ui, the seahub service crashed.
Since then, erverytime i try to start seahub, it fails with:
LC_ALL is not set in ENV, set to en_US.UTF-8
seafile-server-latest/seahub.sh: line 208: warning: setlocale: LC_ALL: cannot change locale (en_US.UTF-
No such file or directory
Starting seahub at port 8000 ...
Error:Seahub failed to start.
Please try to run "./seahub.sh start" again
I’ve looked in all the logs and they are all empty (nginx and seafile). I also set DEBUG=true in seahub_settings.py, with no result. I’ve searched this forum and found similar sounding issues but no definitive approach to diagnosing the problem.
Any ideas where I go from here? Thanks in advance
Hi IgnatzMcJockel,
please try the following trick: try to start seahub with fastcgi.
seahub.sh start-fastcgi
Even if fastcgi is not supported anymore there are more error messages visible than without it. If you know what the problem is, solve it and then start seahub again without fastcgi.
Best regards
Christoph
Thank you for the fast advice 
i tried and got:
LC_ALL is not set in ENV, set to en_US.UTF-8

after removing the DEBUG=true from seahub_settings.py and running with fastcgi again i got:
LC_ALL is not set in ENV, set to en_US.UTF-8
./seahub.sh: line 208: warning: setlocale: LC_ALL: cannot change locale (en_US.UTF-8): No such file or

Unknown command: 'runfcgi'
Type 'manage.py help' for usage.
Error:Seahub failed to start.
do i have to setup something to use fastcgi ?
Hi Ignatz,
please try again to start without fastcgi:
seahub.sh start
Now it should work because you solved the problem with the wrong debug parameter.
Best regards
Christoph
Hi Christoph,
unfortunately not…
seahub.sh start
still results in:
LC_ALL is not set in ENV, set to en_US.UTF-8
./seahub.sh: line 208: warning: setlocale: LC_ALL: cannot change locale (en_US.UTF-8): No such file or

Did you end up solving this? I’m seeing exactly the same issue.
