Diagnozing why ibc is not launching after upgrading to 3.20


 

Hi all,

I upgraded to ibc 3.20 by overwriting the files in the /opt/ibc folder via
the unzip command.
sudo unzip ~/s/IBCLinux-3.20.zip -d \
/opt/ibc
Since then, ibc refuses to launch. There are no log entries therefore I do
not know what to do.

I have tested the integrity of the zip file and have even tried inflating
the ibc.jar file. Both those tests have worked which means that ibc has been
correctly downloaded.

I did not change the configuration files in this release since no changes
had to be made.

I am running ibc on linux.
What am I missing?

Using that command will unpack the whole of the zip and overwrite all the
files, thereby overwriting all your customisations.

My instructions in the Release Notes say this:

'To upgrade to this Release, download the relevant zip file and extract the
IBC.jar and version files, copying them over the current versions in your
IBC installation folder.' So it is only those two files, specifically
mentioned, that should have been touched.

Clearly that message didn't get through.

For future releases I'll try to remember to add a reminder that it's always
safest to make a backup copy of your IBC configuration before doing any
upgrades.

Iif you did make such a backup copy, then put it back in place, and try
again with just those two files.

If you don't have a backup (and you really ought to have one in your general
computer backup), then I'm afraid you'll have to set it up from scratch
again.

Hi Richard,

You make excellent points. I have found the problem and am back up.

The problem was that the new scripts did not have the execute permission.
My primary scripts are renamed so I did not lose them. I updated the
gateway to 10.31, modified my gatewayStartLive.sh and gatewayStartPaper.sh
scripts and was back.

I'm glad to hear that.

Another thing I should do is add a reminder to Release notes to
re-permission the scripts when they have been updated. You're by no means
the first person to trip over this...
