Trying to install seafile on Debian 10 running Virtualmin but seahub just keeps on getting error and not starting up

Seafile Server
1

Hi,

I’m running into some unknown error in a fresh install of seafile on a Debian Nginx system running the Virtualmin control panel. seafile starts. but not seahub.

Here’s relevant info (sorry, I don’t know how to enclose in code tag - if anyone wants to tell me how to do, I can do for next time)

. . .

This is your configuration

server name:            Communiffy
server ip/domain:       docs.communiffy.com
seafile data dir:       /home/seafile/seafile-data
fileserver port:        8082
database:               use existing
ccnet database:         ccnet
seafile database:       seafile
seahub database:        seahub
database user:          seafile

Any suggestions on how to troubleshoot this would be greatly appreciated.

Hi

  • For Debian 10

Note, you should install Python libraries system wide using root user or sudo mode.

apt-get install default-libmysqlclient-dev

sudo pip3 install future mysqlclient

https://manual.seafile.com/upgrade/upgrade_notes_for_8.0.x/

@Cisco: thanks for the help. I was able to install default-libmysqlclient-dev but got an error of the pip3 install command:

Any other suggestions? The server is running as the nameserver to itself.

Install pip for Python 3 and all of its dependencies with the following command:

sudo apt install python3-pip

and

sudo pip3 install future mysqlclient

5

whoops. my /etc/hosts wasn’t set to one.communiffy.com. so I changed it and restarted bind9.
root@one:~# cat /etc/hosts
127.0.0.1 localhost
198.50.169.197 debian10
The following lines are desirable for IPv6 capable hosts
::1 localhost ip6-localhost ip6-loopback
ff02::1 ip6-allnodes
ff02::2 ip6-allrouters
172.93.48.29 one.communiffy.com one

now, the response to the sudo pip3 command is:

root@one:~# sudo pip3 install future mysqlclient
sudo: pip3: command not found
root@one:~#

6

Success in installing python3-pip and the pip3 install future mysqlclient command. But still unable to start seahub:

root@one:~# sudo pip3 install future mysqlclient

can you publish your log files

Is it because I have php-fpm running on tcp6 port 8000? If so, I don’t know how to resolve this port conflict. Here’s netstat under root:

Hey oneearth,
I ran into this exact issue a few weeks ago when I moved my seafile instance from CentOS 8 to Debian 10. If memory serves me right I had to this to get it to work (was using root, but you can use a sudo user);

Install openjdk-8-jdk

 apt update
 apt install software-properties-common
 apt-add-repository 'deb http://security.debian.org/debian-security stretch/updates main' 
 apt update
 apt install openjdk-8-jdk

Install Python 3.7 (not 3.5 that comes default)

apt install python3.7 python3.7-setuptools python3.7-pip
pip3 install --timeout=3600 Pillow pylibmc captcha jinja2 sqlalchemy django-pylibmc django-simple-captcha python3-ldap
  • Make sure you upgrade Pillow to the latest version (it will give you output info on the latest version)
pip3 install Pillow(version_number)
  • Make sure it’s available in the PATH:
which python3.7
/usr/bin/python3.7

Install mysqlclient using pip3

apt install python3.7-dev
apt install libmysqlclient-dev
pip3 install mysqlclient

I hope this helps!

@CyberCam: Thanks for pointing me in a direction that worked for you.

I think perhaps compiling from source might be a good idea - one thread said danger, danger if not.

wget https://www.python.org/ftp/python/3.6.9/Python-3.6.9.tgz
tar xvf Python-3.6.9.tgz
cd Python-3.6.9
./configure --enable-optimizations --enable-shared
make -j8
sudo make altinstall
python3.6

It is recommended to use make altinstall according to the official website.

If you want pip to be included, you need to add --with-ensurepip=install to your configure call. For more details see ./configure --help .

Warning: make install can overwrite or masquerade the python binary. make altinstall is therefore recommended instead of make install since it only installs exec_prefix/bin/pythonversion .

Some packages need to be installed to avoid some known problems, see: Common build problems (updated)

Ubuntu/Debian:

sudo apt-get install -y make build-essential libssl-dev zlib1g-dev libbz2-dev \
libreadline-dev libsqlite3-dev wget curl llvm libncurses5-dev libncursesw5-dev \
xz-utils tk-dev libffi-dev liblzma-dev

Alternative of libreadline-dev:

sudo apt install libedit-dev

Hello Oneearth,

I also could not get seahub to start on a fresh install of CE seafile-server_8.0.3_x86-64.tar.gz on Debian 10.8. So I decided to give CE seafile-server_7.1.5_x86-64.tar.gz a try. Seahub started OK. Please post an update if you have a solution to 8.0.3 seahub not starting.

Thanks!
