Problems after upgrade to 10.1.10

tamsin · 2019-10-26T15:47:22.284Z

Hi, I just set up the emonPi after not using it for over a year due to moving house. The power inputs/feeds I’d previously set up all worked fine. Then I thought I’d click the upgrade button and now the inputs just say “n/a NULL” where I think they should have a time and a value.

I’m not sure how to start debugging. A couple of things I noticed in the admin:

It can’t find the log file. It says:

The log file has no write permissions or does not exists. 
To fix, log-on on shell and do:
touch /var/log/emoncms/emoncms.log
chmod 666 /var/log/emoncms/emoncms.log

I sshed in and the log file appears to be at /var/log/emoncms.log - I tried creating the emoncms subdirectory but it gets removed (on reboot I think?)

mqtt input says mqtt_input Activating Auto-restart
If I run sudo systemctl status emoncms_mqtt.service the output is:
```
emoncms_mqtt.service
   Loaded: not-found (Reason: No such file or directory)
   Active: inactive (dead)
```

I’m not sure how to proceed so any advice gratefully received, thanks!

Welcome back, Tamsin.

There have been BIG changes recently. I think the recommendation will be to back up your data, get the brand new image (on a new SD card, keeping the old one as a backup), then import all your old data. There have been quite a few others with more-or-less the same problem lately, so a search should show them.

I’m not an emonCMS expert, so I’ll stop there.

tamsin · 2019-10-26T16:34:54.888Z

Ah ok, thanks! I’m not too fussed about the old data anyway, so I’ll just do a fresh build.

Robert.Wall · 2019-10-26T16:38:07.090Z

I’d still start with a new SD card - wear and all that.

And beware - your troubles might not be over - there seem to be a few teething problems still.

@tamsin, did you reboot?

tamsin · 2019-10-26T17:32:02.058Z

Several times

What version is emoncms reporting it as being at?

It looks like the update of the MQTT input script has gone arwy.

systemctl status mqtt_input
systemctl status emoncms_mqtt

output please.

tamsin:

Hi, I just set up the emonPi after not using it for over a year due to moving house.

Just noticed this. I suggest the easiest way will be to get the new image if you are not bothered about the old data.

If you have a 16GB card it will just work.

if you want to build yourself then use the new scripts. There is an issue on partition sizing on anything other than 16GB.

tamsin · 2019-10-30T21:16:34.753Z

Thanks all - up and running with the new image now
