Unable to start owp

[alex3137]

Hello.

owp was working fine until I tried to connect to it. I wanted to restart it, here is the output of /etc/init.d/owp restart:

root[/home/alex]# /etc/init.d/owp restart Stopping OpenVZ Web Panel server... Stopping hardware node daemon... [FAIL] Unable to stop hardware node daemon. Stopping watchdog daemon... [FAIL] Unable to stop watchdog daemon. Starting OpenVZ Web Panel... Starting watchdog daemon... [FAIL] Unable to start watchdog daemon. Starting web server webrick on 0.0.0.0:3000... [FAIL] Unable to start web server. Starting hardware node daemon... [FAIL] Unable to start hardware node daemon. Syncing hardware nodes states... [FAIL] Unable to sync information about hardware nodes.

Any clue what to try / where to look ?

Most probably it means lack of resources (RAM).

No I have plenty of RAM left (1 GB+). Actually the problem is I updated to Ruby 1.9 but owp seems only compatible with Ruby 1.8.

Would it be possible to make it compatible with more recent versions of Ruby ?

Same issue here

$ ruby --version
ruby 1.8.7 (2013-06-27 patchlevel 374) [x86_64-linux]

$ cat /etc/redhat-release 
CentOS release 6.6 (Final)

You can easily reproduce it by creating centos6 box in Vagrant and trying to install owp according to Installation section at http://owp.softunity.com.ru/

For the record: I have found a workaround. You can remove > /dev/null 2>&1 code from /etc/init.d/owp script to see error messages. In my case it was:

Solution was found on stackoverflow: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/15349869/undefined-method-source-index-for-gemmodule-nomethoderror

sudo gem update --system 1.8.25

Than remove /var/lock/owp to get rid of:

[FAIL] OpenVZ Web Panel is already running.

... error. Now OWP should start!
