Yesterday i've shutdown the server...today it doesn't start.
I've tried to restart manually but here is the systemctl status log:

    That does only show that it was killed after 8s. Better would be output of manual start in ssh terminal:

    export LC_ALL=C
    sudo -u repetierserver /usr/local/Repetier-Server/bin/RepetierServer -c /usr/local/Repetier-Server/etc/RepetierServer.xml

    Also what version and printer firmware are you using?

    I've tried these commands but doesn't create the xml file....this evening I'll retry.
  • RepetierRepetier
    /usr/local/Repetier-Server/etc/RepetierServer.xml ist part of the installation and always exists! But sometimes a file is corrupt and crashes server when it tries to read it. That is something I'm guessing here.
  • belloclabellocla
    Now i'm trying the above command but nothing happen....in 
    pi@3Dprinter:/usr/local/Repetier-Server/etc 
    there isn't files...
  • belloclabellocla
    May you tell me where i can find, if exist, a config file with my printer personal settings?...so i can save it, reinstall raspberry image and past the configuration....thank you 
  • RepetierRepetier
    ls -l /usr/local/Repetier-Server/etc
    total 4

    If that is empty as you say, you just need to reinstall server. On revent images you just use this command:
    installLatestServer

    Your settings will be kept with the update. Settinsg are all in /var/lib/Repetier-Server while in /usr/local/Repetier-Server our software files reside.

    But since files do noormally not disappear that is strange. Except maybe when pi had issues during update. In any other case I'd make a backup of settings folder and make a fresh image. You never know what is wrong when files start to disappear and new image is often best solution.

    Hmmm....output when i try to use your command "installLatestServer Le" <span>:smile:</span>

    I will reinstall the raspberry image. I can't go to the register menu to deactivate the license on this install...the new one on the same machine, will it decrease the available licenses?
  • RepetierRepetier
    Yes, looks like something is in bad state. Probaby the same that went wrong with update.

    If you copy /var/lib/Repetier-Server folder back license is activated again. Just wtach out that server is not running when copying them back and you have no permission evenually as you work as user pi. When server is stoppen you can change owner for copy. On restart server will change it back to repetierserver.
    sudo service RepetierServer stop
    sudo chown -R pi /var/lib/Repetier-Server

    Now copy to/from folder with scp software like winscp or any other tool you like.
