troubleshooting:checking_for_errors

If you have Evergreen installed and are encountering systematic errors, here is how you might go about troubleshooting and gathering logs for others to troubleshoot. These instructions assume standard locations and filenames for Evergreen installations, and may also include commands that assume a Debian or Ubuntu Linux operating system.

NOTE: This content is also available in the Evergreen documentation at http://docs.evergreen-ils.org/1.6/draft/html/. In github: http://github.com/rsoulliere/Evergreen-DocBook/blob/master/1.6/admin/troubleshooting.xml.

Step 1: Stop all the OpenSRF services, as well as Apache

Stopping Apache

Typically, you would use a command like this as user root:

/etc/init.d/apache2 stop

Another command might look like this:

apache2ctl stop

To double-check and see if apache has actually been terminated, run a command like so:

ps -aef | grep apache2

Apache has not been stopped if you see any entries like this:

root      4609     1  2 13:05 ?        00:00:00 /usr/sbin/apache2 -k start
opensrf   4612  4609  3 13:05 ?        00:00:00 /usr/sbin/apache2 -k start

Stopping OpenSRF

Typically, you would use a command like this as user opensrf:

/openils/bin/osrf_ctl.sh -c /openils/conf/opensrf_core.xml -l -a stop_all

Note: You may need to invoke the osrf_ctl.sh command without the -l option if the installation instructions you used did not have you use localhost in leu of your fully qualified domain name (FQDN) in your configuration file. If this is the case, omit -l from all invocations of osrf_ctl.sh asked for in this document.

You should get either output resembling this:

Stopping OpenSRF C process 12515...
Stopping OpenSRF C process 12520...
Stopping OpenSRF C process 12526...
Stopping OpenSRF Perl process 12471...
Stopping OpenSRF Router process 12466...

Or, if services have already been stopped, like this:

OpenSRF C not running
OpenSRF Perl not running
OpenSRF Router not running

If you run into any troubles with stopping services, stop here and ask for help on either OPEN-ILS-DEV or #evergreen. Other tips may be available on this page.

Occasionally, in the trunk/ version of Evergreen, I have seen osrf_ctl.sh fail to kill OpenSRF processes, so we should check to make sure that none are still running with a command like this:

ps -aef | grep OpenSRF

OpenSRF has not completely shutdown if you see any entries like this:

opensrf   4466  4413  0 12:50 ?        00:00:00 OpenSRF drone [open-ils.storage]

You should manually kill these processes at this point.

If you were uable to stop OpenSRF with the above methods, you can also try this command:

rm –R /openils/var/run/*.pid

This will remove the temporary OpenSRF process files from the run directory which may have been left over from a previous shutdown of the system.

Step 2: Delete or archive the existing log files

By default, Evergreen log files are stored in

/openils/var/log/

To make it easier to scan the logs for errors, we should either erase or move the old logs out of the way while OpenSRF is not running. As user opensrf, you might use a sequence of commands like so:

cd /openils/var/log/
mkdir old
mv *.* old/

Step 3: Check that jabber and memcached are running

Usually, you shouldn't have to restart your jabber and memcache servers when restarting OpenSRF. But we do want to make sure they're at least running.

For ejabberd, you might try a command like so:

ps -aef | grep ejabberd

and expect output like this:

ejabberd  5508     1  0 Feb26 ?        00:00:00 /usr/lib/erlang/erts-5.5.5/bin/epmd -daemon
ejabberd  5525     1  0 Feb26 ?        00:01:47 /usr/lib/erlang/erts-5.5.5/bin/beam -- -root /usr/lib/erlang -progname erl -- -home /var/lib/ejabberd -sname ejabberd -s ejabberd -kernel inetrc "/etc/ejabberd/inetrc" -ejabberd config "/etc/ejabberd/ejabberd.cfg" log_path "/var/log/ejabberd/ejabberd.log" -sasl sasl_error_logger {file,"/var/log/ejabberd/sasl.log"} -mnesia dir "/var/lib/ejabberd" -noshell -noshell -noinput
ejabberd 13640  5525  0 Mar14 ?        00:00:00 /usr/lib/erlang/lib/ssl-3.1.1.1/priv/bin/ssl_esock

For memcached, you might try a command like so:

ps -aef | grep memcached

and expect output like this:

nobody   13646     1  0 Mar14 pts/6    00:00:00 /usr/bin/memcached -m 64 -p 11211 -u nobody -l 127.0.0.1

If you have trouble getting memcached and apache running, stop here and ask for help on either OPEN-ILS-DEV or #evergreen.

Step 4: Change the Log Levels in your config files

We're going to change the level of detail we log to help us narrow down any errors. This is something you might not want to do in a production environment, because it will produce vastly larger log files that will take up more space.

To do this, we edit the OpenSRF bootstrap config file with a command like so as user opensrf:

editor /openils/conf/opensrf_core.xml

The editor involved will probably default to a Vi-clone like Vim, which won't be immediately intuitive to a new user to Unix-type environments. You may want to use an editor such as nano.

In any case, regardless of your text editor, you will want to search for every line containing <loglevel>.

By default, you will see entries like this:

<!-- 0 None, 1 Error, 2 Warning, 3 Info, 4 debug, 5 Internal (Nasty) -->
<loglevel>3</loglevel>

You will want to change every instance of loglevel 3 to loglevel 4, like so:

<loglevel>4</loglevel>

If we get really desperate with troubleshooting, we may want to use a loglevel of 5, instead. And if we narrow things down to the database, we might want to change the logging options for Postgres as well, but I'll defer such tinkering to this page. If you run into trouble changing these settings, please stop here and ask for help on either OPEN-ILS-DEV or #evergreen.

Step 5: Start the OpenSRF router and check for errors

Typically, you would use a command like this as user opensrf:

/openils/bin/osrf_ctl.sh -c /openils/conf/opensrf_core.xml -l -a start_router

You should get output resembling this:

Starting OpenSRF Router

If you do not, then please stop here and ask for help on either OPEN-ILS-DEV or #evergreen. We will want to see a copy of your router log and configuration files here:

/openils/var/log/router.log
/openils/conf/opensrf.xml
/openils/conf/opensrf_core.xml

And of course, any on-screen errors. You should not send us files if they contain passwords that you may use in production environments.

Note: Evergreen 1.4 uses two routers by default, a public one and a private one, with two different logfiles:

/openils/var/log/private.router.log
/openils/var/log/public.router.log

If the router does appear to have started, then let's double check by grepping the router log file (or files) for errors like so:

grep ERR /openils/var/log/*router.log

If you encounter any output from that command, please stop here and contact the development community as stated above.

As a final sanity check, look for the router process with a command like so:

ps -aef | grep Router

You should see output like this if you're running EG1.2:

opensrf   5108     1  0 17:38 ?        00:00:00 OpenSRF Router

Or like this with EG1.4:

opensrf  22530     1  0 Mar09 ?        00:00:00 OpenSRF Router
opensrf  22531     1  0 Mar09 ?        00:00:00 OpenSRF Router

If not, please contact us.

Step 6: Start the OpenSRF perl services and check for errors

Typically, you would use a command like this as user opensrf:

/openils/bin/osrf_ctl.sh -c /openils/conf/opensrf_core.xml -l -a start_perl

With Evergreen 1.4 and later, you should get output resembling this:

Starting OpenSRF Perl
* starting all services for norcrossfx.norcross.esi
* starting servivce pid=7484 opensrf.settings
* starting servivce pid=7493 open-ils.cat
* starting servivce pid=7495 open-ils.supercat
* starting servivce pid=7497 open-ils.search
* starting servivce pid=7499 open-ils.circ
* starting servivce pid=7501 open-ils.actor
* starting servivce pid=7502 open-ils.storage
* starting servivce pid=7509 open-ils.penalty
* starting servivce pid=7512 open-ils.collections
* starting servivce pid=7514 open-ils.ingest
* starting servivce pid=7517 open-ils.permacrud
* starting servivce pid=7522 open-ils.fielder
* starting servivce pid=7527 open-ils.vandelay
* starting servivce pid=7516 open-ils.reporter

With earlier versions of Evergreen, you may simply get:

Starting OpenSRF Perl

If you do not, then please stop here and ask for help on either OPEN-ILS-DEV or #evergreen. At a minimum, we will want to see a copy of your router log, osrfsys log and configuration files here:

/openils/var/log/router.log
/openils/var/log/osrfsys.log
/openils/conf/opensrf.xml
/openils/conf/opensrf_core.xml

And of course, any on-screen errors. Though at this point, a copy of all files in /openils/var/log may be useful. You should not send us files if they contain passwords that you may use in production environments.

If the Perl services do appear to have started, then let's double check by grepping the log files for errors like so:

grep ERR /openils/var/log/*.log

If you encounter any output from that command, please stop here and contact the development community as stated above.

As a final sanity check, look for OpenSRF processes with a command like so:

ps -aef | grep -i opensrf

You should see output like this:

opensrf   7453     1  0 16:04 ?        00:00:00 OpenSRF Router

If not, please contact us.

Step 7: Start the OpenSRF C services and check for errors

Typically, you would use a command like this as user opensrf:

/openils/bin/osrf_ctl.sh -c /openils/conf/opensrf_core.xml -l -a start_c

You should get output resembling this:

Starting OpenSRF C (host=localhost)

If you do not, then please stop here and ask for help on either OPEN-ILS-DEV or #evergreen. At a minimum, we will want to see a copy of your router log, osrfsys log and configuration files here:

/openils/var/log/*router.log
/openils/var/log/osrfsys.log
/openils/conf/opensrf.xml
/openils/conf/opensrf_core.xml

And of course, any on-screen errors. Though at this point, a copy of all files in /openils/var/log may be useful. You should not send us files if they contain passwords that you may use in production environments.

If the C services do appear to have started, then let's double check by grepping the log files for errors like so:

grep ERR /openils/var/log/*.log

If you encounter any output from that command, please stop here and contact the development community as stated above.

As a final sanity check, look for OpenSRF processes with a command like so:

ps -aef | grep -i opensrf

In addition to what you saw before from the Perl services, you should see output like this:

opensrf   7780     1  0 16:39 ?        00:00:00 OpenSRF System-C
opensrf   7781  7780  0 16:39 ?        00:00:00 OpenSRF Listener [opensrf.math]
opensrf   7784  7780  0 16:39 ?        00:00:00 OpenSRF Listener [opensrf.dbmath]
opensrf   7785  7780  0 16:39 ?        00:00:00 OpenSRF Listener [open-ils.auth]
opensrf   7786  7780  0 16:39 ?        00:00:00 OpenSRF Listener [open-ils.cstore]
opensrf   7787  7780  0 16:39 ?        00:00:00 OpenSRF Listener [open-ils.reporter-store]
opensrf   7789  7781  0 16:39 ?        00:00:00 OpenSRF Drone [opensrf.math]
opensrf   7792  7784  0 16:39 ?        00:00:00 OpenSRF Drone [opensrf.dbmath]
opensrf   7793  7785  0 16:40 ?        00:00:00 OpenSRF Drone [open-ils.auth]
opensrf   7794  7786  0 16:40 ?        00:00:00 OpenSRF Drone [open-ils.cstore]
opensrf   7796  7787  0 16:40 ?        00:00:00 OpenSRF Drone [open-ils.reporter-store]

If not, please contact us.

Step 8: Smoke test with autogen.sh

The Autogen tool will take some dynamic information from the database and generate static Javascript files for use by the OPAC and staff client. It is also able to refresh the proximity map between libraries for the purpose of efficiently routing hold requests.

As user opensrf, you invoke Autogen with a command like this:

/openils/bin/autogen.sh -c /openils/conf/opensrf_core.xml -u

You can expect output like this:

Updating fieldmapper
Updating web_fieldmapper
Updating OrgTree
removing OrgTree from the cache...
Updating OrgTree HTML
Updating locales selection HTML
Updating Search Groups
Refreshing proximity of org units
Successfully updated the organization proximity
Done

If you encounter any issues with Autogen, then please stop here and ask for help on either OPEN-ILS-DEV or #evergreen. We will be interested in the usual log and configuration files:

/openils/var/log/*.log
/openils/conf/opensrf.xml
/openils/conf/opensrf_core.xml

And of course, please include any on-screen errors.

Step 9: Try to authenticate with the srfsh command-line OpenSRF client

As user opensrf, you should be able to invoke srfsh very simply like so:

srfsh

That command should give you a prompt which looks like this:

srfsh#

If it does not, then please stop here and ask for help on either OPEN-ILS-DEV or #evergreen. At a minimum, we will want to see a copy of your router log, osrfsys log and configuration files here:

/openils/var/log/*router.log
/openils/var/log/osrfsys.log
/openils/conf/opensrf.xml
/openils/conf/opensrf_core.xml
/home/opensrf/.srfsh.xml

And of course, any on-screen errors. Though at this point, a copy of all files in /openils/var/log may be useful. You should not send us files if they contain passwords that you may use in production environments. The .srfsh.xml file may be located elsewhere depending on your operating system, but it should be in the home directory for your opensrf user.

~/.srfsh.xml

Assuming you have a srfsh prompt, try logging in, substituting the admin account credentials you created during the install process into the following command:

login myAdminUsername myAdminPassword

You should see output similar to this:

Received Data: "6f63ff5542da1fead4431c6c280efc75"

If not, please collect the log and configuration files previously mentioned and contact us. Also useful is the srfsh log, the location of which is defined in your ~/.srfsh.xml configuration file. By default, it is found here:

/openils/var/log/srfsh.log

Pressing Control+D or entering "exit" will terminate srfsh.

exit

Step 10: Start Apache and check for errors

Evergreen has Apache modules that expect to find a running OpenSRF system. Typically you could start Apache as user root with a command like

/etc/init.d/apache2 start

or

apache2ctl start

You may see output like this:

 * Starting web server apache2
   ...done.

You can check for Apache processes with a command like this:

ps -aef | grep -i apache

and can expect output like this:

root      8662     1  3 22:25 ?        00:00:01 /usr/sbin/apache2 -k start
opensrf   8667  8662  3 22:25 ?        00:00:01 /usr/sbin/apache2 -k start
opensrf   8668  8662  3 22:25 ?        00:00:01 /usr/sbin/apache2 -k start
opensrf   8669  8662  3 22:25 ?        00:00:01 /usr/sbin/apache2 -k start
opensrf   8670  8662  3 22:25 ?        00:00:01 /usr/sbin/apache2 -k start
opensrf   8671  8662  3 22:25 ?        00:00:01 /usr/sbin/apache2 -k start

Upon a successful start of the Apache OpenSRF modules, there will be a new log file:

/openils/var/log/gateway.log

However, you should check all of the log files for errors:

grep ERR /openils/var/log/*.log

If you encounter any issues with Apache, then please stop here and ask for help on either OPEN-ILS-DEV or #evergreen. In addition to your normal log and configuration files, we'll also want to see some pertinent Apache configuration files:

/etc/apache2/eg_vhost.conf
/etc/apache2/sites-available/eg.conf
/openils/var/log/*.log
/openils/conf/opensrf.xml
/openils/conf/opensrf_core.xml

And of course, please include any on-screen errors. The location of your Apache files may vary depending on your operating system. Again, you should not send us files if they contain passwords that you may use in production environments. It may also be useful to share your Apache logs:

/var/log/apache2/access.log
/var/log/apache2/error.log

Step 11: Try to authenticate with the staff client

Step 12: Try to authenticate with the OPAC

Bonus Step: Checking Ejabberd Account Credentials

You may have an ejabberd account problem, if you see an error like:

Checking Jabber connection for user router, domain public.localhost
Use of uninitialized value $@ in concatenation (.) or string at /usr/local/share/perl/5.10.1/OpenSRF/Transport/SlimJabber/Client.pm line 147, <DATA> line 35.
* Error connecting to jabber:
SCALAR(0x1244e20)

Verify that the username/password combinations are set correctly in opensrf_core.xml, but you can also check with ejabberd to make sure that they were setup correctly in the first place.

As root:

ejabberdctl check_password <user> <host> <password>; echo $?

If the result is 0, then things are fine with that username/password on the given host. If the result is 1, then the credentials are not working.

You can change your ejabberd password with:

ejabberdctl change_password <user> <host> <new_password>
