Can't start domoticz service. Error domoticz.sh

[denman091]

Hello,

My system:
Rsp3 strech
Latest stable version domoticz
Rfxcom
Yeelight bulbs
Kaku
Milight gateway & led controller

Everything works fine for a coupe of week now. Yesterday i made an image of the sd card on my Macbook for backup. Place the sd card back in de rsp and start the raspberry.
Ow it says Domoticz is offline. When i connect with ssh and send:
"Sudo service domoticz start" i get the following error.

pi@Domoticz:~ $ sudo service domoticz status
● domoticz.service

So it look like there is something with the domoticz.sh file in /etc/init.d

I hope someone can explain this error and can help me to fix this.

Run a check on the file system, sounds like the SD Card may be corrupt after you imaged it.

That's the first thing that needs to be ruled out.

[denman091]

Run a check on the file system

What is the best way to do that?

Edit:
Should the Domoticz.sh file in /etc/init.d/ be the same as the domticz.sh file in the /domoticz directory?
Cause i copied both to my macbook and i see some strange texts in the domoticz.sh file from /etc/init.d/ who are not in the other domoticz.sh file.

Does anyone know if the Domoticz.sh file in /etc/init.d/ has to be the same as the domticz.sh file in the /domoticz directory?

Depends what you mean by "strange text"... They don't have to be the same, but it does not make sense if one of them does not make sense

Strange text could indicate sd card corruption. My SD card just died without warning the other day and I heard it is definitely not uncommon... So I would consider myself lucky to get this warning, backup as much as you can and try whether you can repair your card.

denman091, considering the number of plugins you are using, I'd suggest to consider running Domoticz on an i3 Intel NUC.

If you search the forum, you will find many threads talking about corrupt SD cards, it's a common issue since they can have very limited write endurance compared to an SSD (eg 2.5 inch or M2).

Not saying that's definitely the cause of this particular problem, it may not be but it sounds like you have a considerable size system. Investing in a NUC might be a good idea.

i copied the domoticz.sh file from the domoticz directory to /etc/init.d/ this seems to work.
now i have one error when start the service.
I run "Sudo service domoticz start" and then "sudo service domoticz status" then i get the following error:

So it says "segmentation fault", what can i do to fix this?

[ben53252642]

Search Google, read through forum threads and see if you can find a solution for the error..

Have you done what multiple people have said and checked the file system for errors?

It is sounding like your installation might be corrupt.

this is a file right issue. If you use root to start the service, it will work. So don't sudo, but actually become root and then start the service.
