pixelserv Diversion - pixelserv not running

[root]

Hi,

I have a problem, Diversion says that Pixelserv is not running. I've tried to restart it through Diversion and I've tried to reinstall Diversion with no success, Pixelserv is still not running.

I can ping Pixelserv IP-address 192.168.1.2 but when I try to browse to 192.168.1.2 or 192.168.1.2/ca.crt it says "connection failed".

What else can I try to pinpoint the problem?

Thanks in advance!

Anything in the log?
Are you running an Openvpn server on port 443?

router model? firmware version?

 

[root]

AC86u running merlin 384.19.

 

[elorimer]

The AC86U defaults to a 192.168.50.1 address, so did you change your LAN to 192.168.1.1? If the pool is 50.xx your pixelserv address should be 50.2. Does the LAN pool start above 192.168.1.2, so there is no other device on that address?

I think I changed it when I first configured the router and LAN addresses starts at 1.3.

I've stumbled upon something strange regarding my problem. I'm currently running the FTP-server on my AC86u, and the IP-address is 192.168.1.1 (my routers internal IP-address). But I can also use 192.168.1.2 to access the same FTP-server.. How and why is it running on both IP-addresses? Maybe that's why pixelserv's not working? I've tried to disable "FTP share" in the GUI and then restart pixelserv, but I still can't get it up and running. If I disable both "FTP share" and pixelserv I can't ping 192.168.1.2 anymore. Any suggestions?

You could use the netstat command to see what's running on 192.168.1.2, e.g.

netstat -lp | grep 192.168.1.2

I think you should already have the netstat binary installed.

Even with the FTP-server turned on with active connection I can't see anything related to 192.168.1.2.

 

[PeterR]

There's nothing running on 192.168.1.2, is that what you expect? This is my result for a comparison:

I thought at first that i would see the FTP running on 192.168.1.2, but I did the command with grep 192.168.1.1 and I didn't see anything FTP related there either so.

I should see pixelserv running on 192.168.1.2 like you, I don't know why it won't start and I don't know where to troubleshoot.

I don't understand why I can access the FTP server from both 192.168.1.1 and 192.168.1.2.

The ftp server may listen on 0.0.0.0 (all interfaces) which is why it responded on .2. Run netstat -nltup to see what’s listening where.

Do you see anything in the log, this is from mine when pixelsrv-tls comes up

You're right, found this:

So now I know there's nothing else running on 192.168.1.2 that could interfere with pixelserv.

This comes up when I choose to restart pixelserv through diversion.

 

[PeterR]

You can check if the pixelserv-tls daemon is running using the rc script, i.e.

/opt/etc/init.d/S80pixelserv-tls check

if you set the switch for debug logging in diversion - diversion|ep|2| and add -l 5 then restart pixelserv-tls - see if you get more information in the log.

Restared pixelserv with debug logging, didn't get anymore information:

[PeterR]

For some reason pixelsrv-tls is crashing upon startup, I can only suggest:

• Remove any old certificate in /mnt/USB/entware/var/cache/pixelserv/
• Run a disk check on your USB drive

Tried removing och generating new certificates and doing a disk check on my USB drive, no luck..
