------------------------------------

I am using DietPi distro for Raspberry Pi 3, it's based on raspbian stretch, i like this distro and have no issues with feeding FR24 or FA.
I need your help to solve the problem, why RBFeeder does not work.

Service crashes with this error:

For your guidance, output of above command on my RPi is given below.
Note: I have replaced actual key by xxxxxxxxxx and station number sn by nnnn

it's ok, i have already checked

Code Select Expand


[client]
network_mode=true
log_file=/var/log/rbfeeder.log
key=xxxxxxxxxx

[network]
mode=beast
external_port=30005
external_host=127.0.0.1

[abcd567]

Let us try this and see if it solves the problem:

In file rbfeeder.ini, change
external_host=127.0.0.1
To
external_host=localhost


Save file, then restart rbfeeder

sudo systemctl restart rbfeeder

[beeyev]

i tried, still same error.

[wiedehopf]

For testing, start it on the console:

sudo systemctl stop rbfeeder
sudo rbfeeder

Please post the output.

Also show the output of:
ping 127.0.0.1 -c2

How did you create /etc/rbfeeder.ini?

Show the output of:

ls -l /etc/rbfeeder.ini


Also show the output of:

cat -v /etc/rbfeeder.ini

ping 127.0.0.1

[wiedehopf]

Just as a test use localhost instead of 127.0.0.1

Best delete the old line and past this one:

external_host=localhost

[beeyev]

it did not help, unfortunately.

here is an strace

or in attch, could you please look at it, maybe you will find smth.

What is the output of following command:

Code Select Expand


cat /etc/hosts


[beeyev]

Code Select Expand

127.0.0.1    localhost
127.0.1.1 DietPi
#::1 localhost ip6-localhost ip6-loopback
#ff02::1 ip6-allnodes
#ff02::2 ip6-allrouters

enabling ipv6 does not change anything

[wiedehopf]

Either you overlooked one of my posts or one of yours got moderated:

I'll just ask again :)

Show the output of:

ls -l /etc/rbfeeder.ini


Also show the output of:

cat -v /etc/rbfeeder.ini

ping 127.0.0.1 -c1

rbfeeder -v

Maybe there is some library version issue in regards to internet protocols.
But not sure what the exact problem is.

[abcd567]

May be some files got corrupted during install of rbfeeder.
Purge and reistall rbfeeder.
NOTE: You must copy and save your key in a text file on your desktop/Laptop before purging.

Code Select Expand


sudo apt-get purge rbfeeder
sudo reboot
sudo apt-get install rbfeeder


After the apt-get install command, you may get "certificate not authenticated" warning. Ignore it by pressing y key then Enter key

When installation of rbfeeder is completed, do this:

Code Select Expand


# Restart and check status
sudo systemctl restart rbfeeder
sudo systemctl status rbfeeder

# Is it working OK now?

#Replace the new key in this file by the key you have saved
sudo nano /etc/rbfeeder.ini

# Restart rbfeeder and check status
sudo systemctl restart rbfeeder
sudo systemctl status rbfeeder
