Ubuntu 16.04 Install

Griffinator

Hello,

I'm new to both Ubuntu and Repetier Server, and I'm trying to install Repetier Server 0.75 and I've followed the rather short linux install instructions. When I use "/etc/init.d/RepetierServer start" I get the following:

[....] Starting RepetierServer (via systemctl): RepetierServer.serviceJob for RepetierServer.service failed because the control process exited with error code. See "systemctl status RepetierServer.service" and "journalctl -xe" for details.

 failed!

And then systemctl status RepetierServer.service gives:

● RepetierServer.service - LSB: Init script for Repetier-Server

Any help would be greatly appreciated, I'll try to respond if more info is needed.

Do you run all commands using sudo or as root?

The problem from log is that /usr/local/Repetier-Server/bin/RepetierServer is not there, but that is the file that should be created by the installer. Is it really not there?

16.04 uses systemd as start script and the init script is not fully compatible with that. At least restart did never work for me. Next release 0.80 will therefore also contain a real systemd script for such linux versions. But iof the file is not there it would not help.

The install commands I use sudo. 

Okay, is there a workaround until 0.80  comes out?

Repetier

That should not affect the problem that the file is not there or is it there? That is the most important question here. The init.d script still worked on systemd just restart would only stop or start.

The file is there, all the files that it seems to think are missing are actually there.
