Stuck on "Starting Discovery" in development mod #80

Closed camcdonald1 closed 6 years ago

camcdonald1 commented 6 years ago

I've installed on a full Ubuntu 16.04 distro (not docker). I can't install the production server so am attempting to run the script/server in development mode. In dev mode the script runs but never finds the Hub on my home network. I ran debug and get the message below. I've tried flushing IPtables but that doesn't help. The hub is working and discovered on my home network, just not through Harmony-API. Note, I'm not looking for MQTT functionality yet, just HTTP to begin with. Let me know if there are known issues or if you have ideas on how I can debug this problem and get the HTTP server working.

harmony-api@2.3.5 start /home/chris/harmony-api-master node app.js Starting Discovery.

Is upnp disabled on your router? It uses UPNP to discover the hub. Also, make sure both the server and hubs are on the same subnet.

Thanks for the fast reply. UPNP was initially on. I turned it off, restarted and then flipped it back to on. Still no resolution. I'm not sure about the subnet question, or how to verify that - but that is what I will google next.

I've confirmed both the server and hub are on the same subnet. Also, as previously stated UPNP is enabled.

This has been resolved after adding eth0 to my etc startup config file and connecting an ethernet cord to hardwire connect my laptop.
