[Astroberry 2.0] [SOLVED] indi-web service fails to start

Hi,

I switched to astroberry 2.0 and copied my ~/.indi directory to the new installation (UPDATE: solution at the bottom). Unfortunately indi-web fails to start:

  astroberry@astroberry:~ $ sudo systemctl start indiwebmanager.service

If I start indi-web manually I also get a lot of error messages ..

SOLUTION

cd ~/-indi  # this is my backup from the old astroberry
mv profiles.db profiles.db_astroberry_1_$(date +%F)

Now you can start indi-web service*** , which creates a new profile database.
