seafile-server 5.1.4 cannot start server

[michgeek]

I used default installation and settings but the server can't start:

The router is an Asus RT-AC68U, it's an arm7 CPU.

port of seafile fileserver:   8082
port of seahub:               8000

Starting the server :

root@router:/opt/share# /opt/etc/init.d/S66seafile start

[01/14/17 00:05:08] ../common/session.c(132): using config file /opt/share/seafile/conf/ccnet.conf
Starting seafile server, please wait ...
Failed to start seafile server

The logs don't help much, but maybe you can spot something

Despite the message saying Failed to start seafile server It seems that I can connect via telnet on port 8082 and can see the process are running

If I tried to start seahub, I will get this

root@router:/opt/share# /opt/etc/init.d/S67seahub start

LANG is not set in ENV, set to en_US.UTF-8

Warning: seafile-controller not running. Have you run "./seafile.sh start" ?

Anyone encountered this problem?

Seafile installation is tricky!
Probably there was an error when installing seafile and running post install script. It asks some questions to setup seafile.
The next installation step is to run seahub as suggested by the first script and answer more questions.
You can uninstall seafile* packages, manually remove creteted seafile dirs and start from scratch. If there is an error when running these scripts - post it here.

Here is the correct installation log - http://pastebin.com/jk4jPnNL
Seafile may be to heavy for your Asus RT-AC68U

LANG is not set in ENV, set to en_US.UTF-8

It is better to setup locale in your profile.

It looks like seafile is broken in the last build. Probably one of the packages seafile depends on is now incompatible or broken.
I suggest to try install archive versions of dependent packages one by one and find the guilty one.

[michgeek]

I hope it's not a python package that broke it... there are so many! Is there a tutorial somewhere about installing from archive?

[zyxmon]

archived packages are here - http://pkg.entware.net/binaries/armv7/archive/
Use opkg command to install them with force-(downgrade, reinstall) flags. You can also try manual package unpacking.
I'll try to find what is wrong with seafile later.

Seafile is working fine, after swap was enabled (it was temporary disabled for some tests).
Tested on Tomato by Shibby on an arm router similar to RT-AC68U, but with only 128Mb ram.
The issue is closed.

Thanks for trying to help, my swap was enabled too. I tried with the previous package version of seafile without success, will wait for a new release I guess.
