crapy update then crapy re-install, crash on data-system step

[19emtuck]

I'm stuck on data-system install

test@cubietruck:~$ sudo cozy-monitor install data-system
info - Install started for data-system...
error - An error occured:
error - Install failed for data-system.
[Error: data-system CANT START]

Is there a workaround ? I cannot use prepared system image, 've got other
dependencies already installed and configured :(

What I did

backup my datas
try normal update using web interface which (fail)
try normal update using command line tool which (fail)
decide to remove everything an re-install cozy using fabric script (fail)
try to add package repo, but didn't get cubietruck arch package (fail)

additional informations :

platform : cubietruck
test@cubietruck:~$ lsb_release -c
Codename: trusty

Hi @19emtuck,

Can you give me logs in /usr/local/var/log/cozy/data-system.log or /usr/local/cozy/data-system.log-backup ?

Thanks @19emtuck ,

your problem is a difference between login stored in /etc/cozy/couchdb.login and couchdb admin.

To solve this problem, we can :

• Remove couchDB admin : remove lines in part [admin] in file /etc/couchdb/local.ini (end of file).
• Restart couchDB.
• Remove file /etc/cozy/couchdb.login
• Execute command config_couchdb from fabfile.py
• Restart cozy-controller : sudo supervisorctl restart cozy-controller

[19emtuck]

documentation says : "rm -rf /etc/cozy"
so it might explain password differences :( In the mean time I removed /usr/local/var/lib/couchdb
and restart from scratch install. the path has been correctly recreated with some db files
like _users.couch db

and "sudo fab -H pi@localhost install" is still stuck on data-sytem step

right now :

test@cubietruck:~$ sudo ls -al /usr/local/var/lib/couchdb/
total 28
drwxrwx--- 3 couchdb couchdb 4096 juil. 6 13:22 .
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 juil. 6 13:22 ..
drwxr-xr-x 2 couchdb couchdb 4096 juil. 6 13:22 .delete
-rw-r--r-- 1 couchdb couchdb 4194 juil. 6 13:22 _replicator.couch
-rw-r--r-- 1 couchdb couchdb 4194 juil. 6 13:22 _users.couch

remark : I don't have /etc/couchdb/local.init file

last but not least : what shall I miss to restart install from scratch (don't forget, that fab script
install most in /usr/local)

[19emtuck]

ok find my local.ini file /usr/local/etc/couchdb/local.ini

gonna try your fix

[19emtuck]

ok thx for the tip ! it works.
how can I restore my datas from an other couchdb instance ? (I backup couchdb files and also
backup my data with another couchdb instance, but if I loose my password I'm stuck)

[poupotte]

You can use the same tip :

• Remove admin in file configuration
• Restart couchDB.
• Create new admin for couchDB

To restore, you can use command reverse-backup from cozy-monitor : sudo cozy-monitor reverse-backup <backup_url> <usernameBackup> <passwordBackup>

@clochix , I think, we can close this issue.

Ok, thanks :-)
