Binner 2.2.0 doesn´t run on Ubuntu 20.04.4 LTS

[norticum]

Hello Mike,

Binner doesn´t run on Ubuntu. The Service is not started correctly.

I can´t find the error.

Could you assist? I already have two different Versions of binner active and running to compare each other but I cant get Version 2.2.0 to work.

oh dear, looks like the config wasn't successfully read (it's null). ok let me spin up a VM and see what's going on.

if you have it handy, can you share the contents of your appsettings.json? If it's sensitive at all, you can email to it me at mikeb@refactor.ca

v2.2.1 is building right now and I included a patch to add better error validation of the appsettings.json . If you have any other info for me I could assist further

Hello Mike,

my appsettings.json is default. I did´nt any changes to the file.

hmm ok I found something. When running on Ubuntu it works fine if I run it from the current folder (not as a service). But when run as a service, it's throwing the error you described which can't find the config. I'm not sure yet what causes this, or why it's any different now.

Solved! I'll push another patch into v2.2.1 (takes 30 min to build & deploy) but if you want to solve it instantly:

first remove the service:

sudo systemctl stop Binner.service
sudo systemctl disable Binner.service
sudo rm /etc/systemd/system/Binner.service
sudo systemctl daemon-reload
sudo systemctl reset-failed

then update Binner.service.systemctl.template:

[Unit]
Description=Binner

[Service]
WorkingDirectory=@INSTALLPATH@
ExecStart=@INSTALLPATH@/Binner.Web

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

Save that and rerun sudo ./install-as-service.sh
