Seahub won't start anymore

Seafile Server
1

Hi,

I am using Seafile 7.0.4 on Raspbian.

After some time using Seafile, the Seafile hub won’t start anymore (no updates on the os side has been installed).

Using systemd to start the seahub daemon leads to following error message:

● seahub.service - Seafile hub
   Loaded: loaded (/etc/systemd/system/seahub.service; enabled; vendor preset: enabled)

There are no warning or errors in the logs file.

My seahub config

# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-

TIME_ZONE = 'Europe/Berlin'

}

How can I fix this problem?

Kind regards

on gunicorn.conf
try to change
daemon = True to False
and start seahub again.You will see why seahub is failing to start. After that, revert config again.

Thank you for the tip.

I got following error message:

Important seems the error message

Aug 21 20:05:31 seafile-pi seahub.sh[1204]: /home/seafile/seafile-server-latest/seahub.sh: line 156: 1217 Segmentation fault $PYTHON $gunicorn_exe seahub.wsgi:application -c "${gunicorn_conf}" --preload

I echoed this command and got following line

python2.7 /home/seafile/seafile-server-7.0.4/seahub/thirdpart/gunicorn seahub.wsgi:application -c /home/seafile/conf/gunicorn.conf --preload

I execute the command by hand and got this error message:

Seems that the module seahub.wsgi could not be imported.

Hi, do you use ARMv6 oder Jessie Distro? There are two versions for raspi.

Hi jobenvil

I installed the “seafile-server_7.0.4_stable_pi.tar.gz” file from github.

More information about my system:

Hi jobenvil,

have you an idea how to fix this error.

I already installed python-certifi and python-idna before the upgrade.

7

After the change to daemon = False try to start the seahub with ./seahub start instead of service seahub start and check for the printed error.

8

I get the following error

LC_ALL is not set in ENV, set to en_US.UTF-8
Starting seahub at port 8000 ...
./seahub.sh: line 246: 12931 Segmentation fault      $PYTHON $check_init_admin_script

I then echoed the line 246
python2.7 /home/seafile/seafile-server-7.0.4/check_init_admin.py

running this comman manually, I got following error:
Speicherzugriffsfehler
in english
segmentation fault

9

strange. Try python2.7 with other py file. How about for the rights of the /seafile directory?

10

The Permissions seem to be correct.

But something ist wrong with my python2.7

root@seafile-pi:~# python2.7
Speicherzugriffsfehler

python3.5 is working

root@seafile-pi:~# python3
Python 3.5.3 (default, Sep 27 2018, 17:25:39)

Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.

Could it be a hardware problem?

11

I was aware of that, since the two times when you used the commad python2.7 you got a Speicherzugriffsfehler, but since I didn’t see such error with python, I want to confirm it.

I would suggest reinstalling python 2.7. Somehow got damaged.

12

It seems that my sd card was damaged. With dd I moved the image to a new sd card and reinstalled python2.7.

python2.7 is now working.

But when I start seahub I get the same error again:

You should change the daemon = False again and start seahub manually with ./seahub.sh start

14

Hi jobenvil,

first thank you for your help and your patient.

This what I get when running seahub.sh start with daemon = False

But python2.7 is working now. It seems I have to reinstall my system.

15

Again segmentation fault. Try to reinstall seafile, i mean, only to extract the new package tar -xvf…
And apply again minor upgrade.

16

I reinstalled seafile and used upgrade_6.3_7.0.sh

Starting seahub with seahub.sh start as the seafile user with daemon = False works now, but with systemctl I get a segmentation fault again.

17

Hey there! Yesterday I got the same error out of the blue. The Server had been running for years now. But since yesterday the seahub service won’t start anymore.

Here is my error message:

Jan 12 15:46:45 hmsrv seahub.sh[893]: /home/seafile/sfserver/seafile-server-latest/seahub.sh: line 242:   903 Segmentation fault      $PYTHON $check_init_admin_script

I am going to update my server which is still running 6.3.4.
