Using ./cells install with command line will not give a functional system.
Using ./cells install with a browser based installation will give a running system but after stopping e.g. with Ctrl-C and running ./cells start will give an error ERROR Frontend Service Not Detected
Hi,
either it’s browser or cli the final result is the same (basically with the browser you fill your infos via a webpage that will be saved in the pydio.json file, the cli does the exact same thing only from the terminal.
Now onto the issue, when you restart cells you have to wait 15/20 secs for all the services to start (front, auth datasources etc…), if you have the logs displayed somewhere or in a log file, you can notice that there are services starting like this:
2019-01-14T09:41:07.035+0100 ERROR Frontend Service Not Detected

this is the line that you are looking for, 2019-01-14T09:41:07.088+0100 INFO pydio.rest.frontend started.
If you have any issue do not hesitate.
Hi,
I experience the same issue (frontend service not starting) with version 1.2.5. When starting cells with “–log debug” I only see one line mentioning the frontend service:
DEBUG pydio.rest.frontend BeforeStart - Check dependencies
but the service never gets started. Manually starting the frontend after general startup by running
cells start pydio.rest.frontend
works flawlessly and gives the below log messages:
DEBUG pydio.rest.frontend BeforeStart - Check dependencies
DEBUG pydio.rest.frontend BeforeStart - Valid dependencies
DEBUG pydio.rest.frontend AfterStart - Check service is running
INFO pydio.rest.frontend started
DEBUG pydio.rest.frontend AfterStart - Service is running
Obviously the dependency check never returns (or fails without notification).
Any help would be much appreciated.
Hi,
let’s check the details,
could you tell me your OS on which is running your pydio, also is it a vm a vps or else?
in the case where your cells is to be accessed with a public address, could you tell me if your server has a private interface.
Hi zayn,
cell is running under OL 7.6 in a KVM based guest with 1 vCPU and 2GB RAM (enough for testing). Addressing is private with only a single interface - so it’s a pretty simple test setup. Cells is being started as an unprivileged user.
As a workaround I now use to start cells by running:
/path/to/cells start pydio frontend
This way all services start up without issues in all cases (manually, systemd, SElinux enforcing or permissive). Without this syntax it fails to start the frontend service in all cases.
