"Starting services, this can take a while" on v7.3.4 update

austin

After an update several hours ago, my Cloudron instance keep saying Starting services, this can take a while

Does anyone have the same issue?

@austin Can you check /home/yellowtent/platformdata/logs/box.log for any errors ?

@austin These are old logs (from Dec 1), you have to go to the end of the file. You can write to support@cloudron.io , if you are not comfortable with linux .

austin

@girish Sorry, I've just copied the log today to this text file. Will delete it once you confirm that you have it downloaded.

@austin thanks, it seems mysql service is not starting properly. Can you try the steps in https://docs.cloudron.io/troubleshooting/#mysql-addon ?

@austin Can you try this:

First:

docker exec -ti mysql /bin/bash

Then (make sure you are in the container):

cd /var/lib/mysql
mv ib_logfile* /tmp
mkdir '#innodb_redo'
chown mysql:mysql #innodb_redo

Then, exit the shell (ctrl+D). Then,

docker restart mysql
docker logs -f mysql # check if it's saying running

If that worked, systemctl restart box and you should be back in sometime.

@girish I restarted box 5 mins ago but still see this:

Also this is the code when I run it. Thank you.

You rock! They are configuring & starting now!

I got this one on of my cloudron installs and I just rebooted the server and that solved it.

Seems like something just needed to get "unstuck", but the issue was that the services were not starting properly.

Cloudron makes it easy to run web apps like WordPress, Nextcloud, GitLab on your server. Find out more or install now.
