Dashboards not shown after update

Papageno · 2018-09-15T16:49:10.463Z

After update and reboot I can’t access my dashboards anymore. I was following this topic but had also no luck.

If I press F12 in the browser and select a dashboard there is no html for the dashboard. See enclosed screen shot

How can I reset this?

All graphs and feeds are visible and no error occures.

There is no /var/www/emoncms/dashboard folder! Could this be the problem?
There is a /var/www/emoncms/Modules/dashboard folder!

I found the following error in apache2 logfile:
[Sat Sep 15 18:38:15.544158 2018] [:error] [pid 3068] [client 192.168.2.154:58450] PHP Warning: require(Modules/vis/vis_langjs.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /var/www/emoncms/Modules/dashboard/Views/dashboard_edit_view.php on line 22, referer: http://192.168.2.112/emonclog file: d/Views/dashboard_view.php on line 24, referer: http://192.168.2.112/emoncms/dashboard/view&id=3

Unfortunately, you don’t give us any information about your system, hardware or emoncms version, or how you installed it.
Without more information its difficult to help.

Go to meny Setup > Administration, and click the ‘Copy to Clipboard’ button in the Server Information section, and paste the results directly into a forum post.

Aaah it’s an emonpi.
Have you tried updating emoncms using the inbuilt script?

Other than that, I’ll leave this for a emonpi user to answer.

Papageno · 2018-09-15T19:52:24.372Z

Yes, I pressed the emonPi button and emonBase.emonpiupdate.txt (6.6 KB)

Paul · 2018-09-15T19:54:22.000Z

Papageno:

Yes, I pressed the emonPi button and emonBase.

…and what was the result, any messages in the log.

Papageno · 2018-09-15T19:55:02.828Z

see upper post please, I edited it.

Paul · 2018-09-15T20:07:29.378Z

It looks as though emoncms is not being updated.

git pull /var/www/emoncms
  dev-mosquitto-php
  master
* stable
  symlinked_modules
On branch stable
Your branch is behind 'origin/stable' by 221 commits, and can be fast-forwarded.
  (use "git pull" to update your local branch)
Changes not staged for commit:
  (use "git add <file>..." to update what will be committed)
  (use "git checkout -- <file>..." to discard changes in working directory)

	modified:   index.php

I suspect that you have made an manual edit to the file index.php at some stage, which is stopping the git update. Could this be the case?

Papageno · 2018-09-15T20:11:18.656Z

Definetly not. I’m not that familar with git, so I won’t change there anything. Is it possible to repeat this or do you think that the dashboard files are lost?

Papageno · 2018-09-15T20:13:24.781Z

Oh, I’m sorry. There is a index.php.org in my folder. So there must be some changes, indeed. I’m searching for the reason…

Papageno · 2018-09-15T20:18:18.846Z

I’ve changes some variables, don’t know why:
$session[‘userid’] = ‘my_name’;
$session[‘write’] = 1;
$session[‘admin’] = 1;
$session[‘editmode’] = TRUE;
$session[‘lang’] = ‘en’;

I try to replace it with the original version

Paul · 2018-09-15T20:20:03.528Z

Yes, if you can restore it, and run the update script again, it should update emoncms and hopefully solve your problem.

Papageno · 2018-09-15T20:40:32.010Z

I used the original one, still the same message. But the one from sourceforge doesn’t run at all.
I tried it with apt-get update / upgrade because git was a newer version availible. It may take a while.

Papageno · 2018-09-16T07:37:27.864Z

That didn’t work. So I don’t want to spend too much time with this. Is there a way to install the latest release and keep the data and feed/input configuration (which still works) ? I’m afraid to lose the data and settings. To lose the dashboards doesn’t matter, the graphs still work.

Paul · 2018-09-16T17:11:10.875Z

I’m not a emonpi user… but I would tackle this by first of all by making a copy of your existing emoncms folder -
cp -r emoncms oldemoncms
so that if it all goes wrong, you can rename oldemoncms back to emoncms, and things will be the same as they are now.

Then from within your emoncms folder, stash any file changes which you may have made. (Try googling ‘git stash’ for details about the ‘stash’ command, or see this guide.)

Then run the update again and see if that fixes the problem. If you then have a fully running system, delete the oldemoncms folder.

Thanks for the tip. I’ll try it next weekend. I have to leave it unsolved.

alex.tivy · 2018-09-20T02:13:42.086Z

Hey the same happened to me a few times after updating as it does not automatically install the dashboards module! Make sure you download it and copy to Module folder!!!

Big Thanks!
That did the trick in details:

cd /var/www/emoncms/Modules
mv ./dashboard dashboard.backup (or delete it)
git clone GitHub - emoncms/dashboard: dashboard module for emoncms
git pull
