Unable to run as service on RPI.

I'm unable to run this as a service. This is the error I get when trying so. When running it with the normal ./uhppoted-httpd --console command it runs fine but when running it as that the default login does not work.

Hi,
I'm going to go out on a limb and guess that you were running it in console mode as root which means there's a good chance the /var/uhppoted folder and/or the /var/uhppoted/uhppoted-httpd.pid file are owned by root. By default the service runs under the account uhppoted so it may not have write permissions to either /var/uhppoted or /var/uhppoted/uhppoted-httpd.pid
- Check the permissions on /var/uhppoted:
sudo ls -la /var | grep uhppoted
- Check the permissions on /var/uhppoted/uhppoted-httpd.pid:
sudo ls -la /var/uhppoted/uhppoted-httpd.pid
In both cases the user:group should be uhppoted:uhppoted i.e. something like:
drwxr-xr-x 10 uhppoted uhppoted 320 Jul 4 11:24 uhppoted
drwxr-xr-x 10 uhppoted uhppoted 320 Jul 4 11:24 /var/uhppoted/uhppoted-httpd.pid
If not you need to update the permissions:
sudo chown -R uhppoted:uhppoted /var/uhppoted
You may also need to update the permissions on /etc/uhppoted:
sudo chown -R uhppoted:uhppoted /etc/uhppoted
If that doesn't solve the problem let me know and I'll dig into a bit more.
Yep I that fixed it. Thank you!
Oh great!! Thanks for letting me know :-)
