Domoticz

I am trying to install Domoticz on Ubuntu (18.04).

All seemed to go okay and it seemed to install. It said it started and yet I cannot get anything to connect to the web server platform. How do I verify that Domoticz is actually working? I can't find it when I do a ps -A or anything that simple and the scripts "seem" to make it start and stop, yet nothing will attach to it.

Any help with this mystery would be gratefully received.

do you have a file called domoticz.sh in /etc/init.d ?


try "service domoticz.sh status"

Yes l do. haven't tried that though so l will tonight. l was planning to try the build it yourself instructions tonight. That might fix it too.

Ta for the pointer I will let you know later.

Trev

Just finished rebuilding it all from scratch following the wiki to the letter. Still there is no web server on 8080 on that server.

I have tried the ./domoticz.sh status and it says the service is running. It is not though. I can't find anything using ps -A that suggests it is. Just not sure if that is right or wrong. Everything looks good. It is simply not doing anything.

post the output of ps -ef | grep domoticz

Have you tried another port (-www 8888) ? Maybe this one is already occupied?

Having trouble getting back on the machine to do any of this.

I have a feeling it is still compiling domoticz, just very slowly. hence why it does not seem to be running. I plan to just leave it for a couple of days and see if it frees up. If not I will start from scratch. Once I get in again I will post the results from PS etc. if it is not all miraculously working of course.

are all packages installed with the correct version?
Cause of 18.04, you have newer packages then 16.04.

Hi All,

It is now up and running and I am happy. Have transfered my config from the Raspberry pi and it happily controls lights etc. Only challenge I have left is that the UI page does not update after a command and has to be refreshed before it works.

The issue here was just how much processing power the compile was taking. I made the assumption it had compiled when it actually had not finished. Now after nearly a week it is working Will ask about the update issue in another thread. Thanks for all your help and suggestions.

Unsure about your problem. You say Ubuntu, yet your profile states Raspberry. I don't think Ubuntu has a release for Pi? So assuming you are on Ubuntu it has to be something bigger in CPU and I usually (cross)compile Domoticz in about ten minutes, so I'm confused about you needing a week for that?

I'm moving it from my Raspberry PI to an Ubuntu computer. Once I'm happy it is working I will need to update my signature

I have this issue too and have done for a while. I have found that on startup Domoticz starts and is ok for a few minutes, then the UI stops updating, however if I stop and start the services then its fine after that.
My house is being renovated at the moment so everything has been shutdown for the last 3 months. I'm thinking that I may build a fresh VM and see if i can get it to work properly.
