Couchpotato plugin wont start

[Thorep]

Hi! I have a almost fresh install of freenas 9.3. I installed couchpotato plugin.
When i try to start it it just hangs, long time, and then is set to off again.

Any tips?

Does the couchpotato icon show on the Plugins > Installed tab?

What do you get when you run this in the couchpotato jail
'service couchpotato onestart'

 

[Thorep]

Hi! Yes i can see the icon.
From shell
root@couchpotato_1:/ # service couchpotato onestart
Starting couchpotato.
root@couchpotato_1:/ #

so you couldn't enable the service from the Plugins > Installed tab? can you access couchpotato now?

 

[Thorep]

No i can not access it now. Its its still set to off in Plugins->installed.

ok, you should check /var/db/couchpotato for logs. post any errors you find either here on the couchpotato forum

I have now found the log file, its 200 lines, how do i copy it all? im using shell inside the web gui and reading the file with ee

Im getting contact with couchpotato now at port 5050. Buts its slow..reaaaaly slow. I also noticed that loading plugings has become really really slow as well.

you could stop the plugin, delete the log, and start it again so its shorter. you could also search the log for only errors and warnings not the usual debug stuff.

what do you mean by loading the plugins slow?

if you mean the plugins > installed tab, that may mean one/some of your plugin jail(s) has unreliable networking.

for the abpve case, I recommend disabling VIMAGE and assigning an interface to your plugin jails. this usually makes networking for them much more reliable.

Thanks for your help!:) Could you explain the VIMAGE? I have two network cards on my nas server, do you meen to configure the other just for jails?

 

[Joshua Parker Ruehlig]

I dont really know what VIMAGE is, just that I always need to disable it to get my jails plugins working properly. I also have 2 network cards, and 2 different interfaces defined. I have to assign which interfaces my jail uses.

no, I dont suggest you have a special inteface for jails, since I dont know you network layout. in mine my main interface that can route to the internet is assigned to all of my jails.

Disabeling the VIMAGE worked!:) I have some more questions about couchpotato but i think that will need a new thread.
