Client not connecting

SatNOGS Software

I’ve got the rotator talking nicely to gpredict and am moving onto the client setup. I followed the instructions and installed on my RPi2

  1. Configured the /etc/supervisor/conf.d/rotctld.conf (note the d in supervisor directoy is removed) with…

[program:rotctld] command=/usr/bin/rotctld -m 202 -r /dev/ttyACM0 -s 19200 -T 127.0.0.1 autostart=true autorestart=true user=pi priority=1

  1. Configured the /etc/supervisor/conf.d/satnogs.conf (same thing with the d on supervisor directory

[program:satnogs] command=/usr/local/bin/satnogs-poller directory=/home/pi/ autostart=true autorestart=true user=pi environment=SATNOGS_SQLITE_URL="sqlite:////tmp/jobs.sqlite",SATNOGS_API_URL="https://network-dev.satnogs.org/api/",SATNOGS_API_TOKEN="token removed",SATNOGS_VERIFY_SSL="TRUE",SATNOGS_STATION_ID="46",SATNOGS_STATION_LAT="54.6422",SATNOGS_STATION_LON="-3.5375",SATNOGS_STATION_ELEV="37",SATNOGS_PPM_ERROR="0"

…note PPM error is not set as I can’t get Kal to find a GSM station…

  1. Restarted supervisor using sudo supervisorctl reloadand notice that there was not green light on the dev-network and get this error in the var/log/supervisor/supervisor.log file

I’m more of a mechanical chap and this looks a bit fatal for some reason. Any suggestions / comments?

Check out the satnogs-specific log for the true reason. The filename will be unique to the process every time but should be in:

/var/log/supervisor/satnogs-stderr—supervisor-XXXXXX.log

Let us know what that says!

Its a long one…

Really weird. Only thing I can find is to try this:

pip install setuptools --upgrade

Otherwise, what linux distro are you using?

I ended up doing a fresh install on the RPi and narrowed the issue down to file permissions and ownership of the 2 .conf files. Once these had been chown’ed and chmod’ed (to perhaps the wrong state). Connected, remained connected and is being driven by the web interface.

6

What was the ownership before? I’ll make note of this in the docs, but given that supervisord runs as root I’m surprised ownership was an issue.

7

I’m guessing it was something daft Corey.

Because of my limited Linux knowledge I had to create the .conf files as root and that (I think) stopped me running the client with enough permissions to read both the files. As soon as I chown’ed them all the issues went away.

I’ll chalk it down to learning, hopefully if someone else makes the same mistake then its not such a big deal to find an answer
