Upgrade fails to launch

[JohnInHVL]

I am new to openHAB world and I have worked with it a little on my pine64. I had the server working for a while. Until I decided to upgrade from my openHAB 2 - offline to the recently released openhab2 713. It has not gone well. And I am at a loss as to how to correct the permission problems I appear to have. Any help would be appreciated. Here is the problem:

● openhab2.service - openHAB 2 - empowering the smart home Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/openhab2.service; enabled; vendor preset: enabled) Active: failed (Result: exit-code) since Tue 2017-01-10 16:15:57 EST; 13min ago Docs: http://docs.openhab.org https://community.openhab.org Process: 11392 ExecStop=/usr/share/openhab2/runtime/bin/stop (code=exited, status=3) Process: 11214 ExecStart=/usr/share/openhab2/start.sh server (code=exited, status=255) Main PID: 11214 (code=exited, status=255)

Here is what I did: openhab2 user has admin privileges.

sudo apt-get purge openhab2 sudo rm /etc/apt/sources.list.d/openhab2.list echo 'deb http://dl.bintray.com/openhab/apt-repo2 unstable main' | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/openhab2.list wget -qO - 'https://bintray.com/user/downloadSubjectPublicKey?username=openhab' | sudo apt-key add -

sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install openhab2 sudo reboot

Sudo systemctl start openhab2.service

It failed due to permissions, so I tried….

sudo chown openhab2:openhab2 /usr/share/openhab2 sudo chown openhab2:openhab2 /etc/openhab2 sudo chown openhab2:openhab2 /var/log/openhab2 sudo chown openhab2:openhab2 /var/lib/openhab2

Try again with openhab:openhab, as these are the true user and group names needed by openhab, it looks like your username is openhab2.

Thank you, that got me up...

still have a status 3 showing, but I may not understand what that means. Will check the logs

Hi @JohnInHVL, glad you got it working! That looks normal to me, I wouldn't worry about it.
