  • v7.0NG.777 Moving Database to seperate server keeps restarting

    Posted by Craig on julio 11, 2024 at 05:13

    I installed on Unbuntu 22 also tried Rocky using the script in the extras on github.

    everything worked fine then I set up a new database server stopped the server and console

    Dumped the DB changed the /etc/pandora/pandora_server.conf tp point to the new DB server and the console.

    Start the server and it keeps restarting point it back to the localhost one no problems at all

    I even tried the setup script and used an external DB same problem. I think its somthing in the pandora_ha that’s doing this but not sure .

    In the log i see this with verbose

    eg I keep seeing

    Hi Craig,

    It looks like the server is restarting for some reason, can you launch the server in process mode to see if we generate any more log messages?

    It launches as follows:

    /usr/bin/pandora_server /etc/pandora/pandora_server.conf

    Best regards,
    Víc.

      Ok it works fine when you run it as /usr/bin/pandora_server /etc/pandora/pandora_server.conf

      When you run from systemd it also starts

      /usr/bin/perl /usr/bin/pandora_ha -d -p /var/run/pandora_ha.pid /etc/pandora/pandora_server.conf

      If you Kill that process then the problem goes away

      I also see in the ps awxu this happening when that ha process is running

      sh -c service pandora_server restart-server 2>/dev/null

      /bin/bash /etc/init.d/pandora_server restart-server

      /bin/bash /etc/init.d/pandora_server stop-server

      So somehow it thinks the database is HA or something even though nothing in the config is set for that and this is the non enterprise system
