Died Starting

[Man in a van]

I have just installed LMS v8.0.0 on a rpi4b running Raspberry PI OS, Buster-Lite

LMS is running but I can't connect to the weg gui

server logs say

Any Ideas

Life used to be so simple

I'm only doing this to check on the DSD PLayer Plugin problem I have on another thread

I would stop the service and start LMS from command line. Perhaps you will see the specific error.

I think the suggestion is to start it interactively ... something similar to
perl slimserver.pl

If you take a look inside the startup script you might be able to work out the command line as used.

Well I have looked in

sudo nano /etc/init.d/logitechmediaserver

and I don't have the experience or knowledge to go any further.

I'll just let it lie

Well this is embarrassing

I decided this morning to re-download and install the same version.

The web-gui popped up with no problem at all

Intrigued, I did

pi@raspberrypi:~ $ ls
logitechmediaserver_8.0.0~1596714594_i386.deb  logitechmediaserver_8.0.0~1596793464_arm.deb

to find I had installed the wrong .deb

This is the first time (I can remember ) I have done this

Sorry for the noise

I found a "naughty step" in the shade
