Problems Starting As A service

[The Dalek Hunter]

With debugging enabled the only files that turn up in in the MXdiags folder are attached

It doesn't look like there is any network connectivity when CMX starting up...

Code: Select all

Failed to get the latest build version from Github: No such host is known

Shows it cannot resolve github in DNS.

Then the crash happens when it tries to connect to your WLL IP address weatherlink.com.

Did you reboot the server and let CMX autostart for this log file?

I see you have no start-up delay configured.

Code: Select all

No start-up delay - disabled

You could try adding 30 seconds or a minute delay in there to give the host time to get things sorted out.

I added the debug option in the ini file and then rebooted.

I have been running it with a 30 second startup delay and with this it is fine.

I removed the startup delay for this test - I have now reinstated it and all is well

Yeah - sorry, I'd forgotten this history on this thread - I'll add a catch for the crash connecting to weatherlink.com.

Many thanks

Looks like I already did it! Also looking more closely it was the code that connected to a service that provides status information ABOUT weatherlink.com that was causing the problem.

As the start by Cron has a delay of 30 seconds I tried that and it now starts perfectly.
I will leave it at that without any further meddling

I can confirm that the 30 sec delay when started as a cron job was intended to allow time for the network to come up and stabilise. Time was found empirically.
