Stash not starting

Question

Hi,

I'm evaluating Stash for my own development. Everything works just fine on my iMac but trying to install STASH on my QNAP TS-459 Pro NAS (Some embedded Linux version) STASH is not starting.

git version 1.8.0.1

java version 1.6.0_22

Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_22-b04)

Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 17.1-b03, mixed mode, sharing)

/share/MD0_DATA/atlassian-stash-2.0.0  # sh bin/start-stash.sh

To run Stash in the foreground, start the server with start-stash.sh -fg

Starting Atlassian Stash as current user

Detecting JVM PermGen support...

PermGen switch is supported. Setting to 256m n

Using STASH_HOME:      /share/MD0_DATA/stash-data

Using CATALINA_BASE:   /share/MD0_DATA/atlassian-stash-2.0.0

Using CATALINA_HOME:   /share/MD0_DATA/atlassian-stash-2.0.0

Using CATALINA_TMPDIR: /share/MD0_DATA/atlassian-stash-2.0.0/temp

Using JRE_HOME:        /usr/local/jre

Using CLASSPATH:       /share/MD0_DATA/atlassian-stash-2.0.0/bin/bootstrap.jar:/share/MD0_DATA/atlassian-stash-2.0.0/bin/tomcat-juli.jar

Using CATALINA_PID:    /share/MD0_DATA/atlassian-stash-2.0.0/work/catalina.pid

Existing PID file found during start.

Tomcat appears to still be running with PID 12738. Start aborted.

My NAS is not using port 7990 for anything else.

Tomcat is not enabled but another instance might be running on the NAS for the Administration Panel to work (port 8080) I'm not sure...

The log files don't tell more about the error

Are there any requirements that should be ok before STASH is working other than Git and JAVA versions?

Hopefully I will be able to run both JIRA and STASH on my NAS but if this is not working i might be forced to use another Mac Mini as my code revision server...

Thanks

Michael

Hi Michael,

That error message indcates something is wrong with perl in your environment. You mentioned some attached logs, is there a link somewhere to the file?

Cheers,

Hi Michael,

Good to hear that we made some progress :)

You mention that the log file is attached? I don't think you can attach files to answers posts? Could you please paste the log entries that indicate an error instead?

In Stash 2.0 we ensure Perl is availabe on the PATH as we need it for the commit hooks we install. The error indicates that Perl couldn't be executed. Could you please check that the user Stash is running under has perl on his PATH (via "which perl" for example)?

Cheers,

Stefan

Hi, First thanks... I found the PID file and after deleting the file I got a litle further. I seems that the file was for some reason not removed when shutting down the server. Now the server is starting but when loading the http://:7990 I get an error: Error validating Perl: {0} The log file is attached... I did find another thread in the forum about this error. I'm running the server on my NAS as admin, directories for the application and the home directory outside the application dir is owned by admin and group is administrators. Git is installed using: ipkg git install Git is installed in: /opt/bin/git git --version is working Any hints for this one? Thanks Michael
