tvheadend 4.2.6-7 broken

Added by Wolfgang Buesser over 6 years ago

When I update tvheadend to 4.2.6.7 on my centos 7 the software is completly dead.
I can't even access the web-interface anymore.
The software is running:
ps -edaf |grep tvheadend
tvheade+ 2496 1 0 10:48 ? 00:00:00 /usr/bin/tvheadend -f -p /var/run/tvheadend.pid -c /var/lib/tvheadend/config -u tvheadend -g tvheadend -6 --http_port 9981 --htsp_port 9982

previous versions of tvheadend worked fine.

So what has changed? where are the log-files?

I had the same effect today when upgrading from 4.2.4-42 to 4.2.6-7. For some reason my configuration was stored in "/home/tvheadend/config", but "/etc/sysconfig/tvheadend" has set the config folder to "/var/lib/tvheadend/config".

I have compared the content of both folders, and to me it seemed that the folder in the home directory stored the configuration that was used for 4.2.4 ( passwd, bouquet etc... ). For my setup I just needed to change 1 line in my home config and to copy the whole "/home/tvheadend/config" folder to "/var/lib/tvheadend/config"

The line that I have changed in my config file ( "/home/tvheadend/config/config" ) was the version string taken from the config file in "/var/lib/tvheadend" ( "full_version": "4.2.6-7~g5613551.el7.centos" ).

# stop tvheadend
systemctl stop tvheadend

# backup new config directory
cd /var/lib/tvheadend
mv config config.bak

# copy config directory from home/tvheadend ( moving would also be ok )
cp -r /home/tvheadend/config config/

# start tvheadend
systemctl start tvheadend
