Device media path not automatically created

Don6 months ago

Hi,

I have created 2 JT808 based dashcam, and have created media folder manually, but why the device's media path not automatically created?

traccar.xml

<entry key='media.path'>/opt/traccar/data/media</entry>

what I missed?

Disk permissions on your server.

In my case, after modify the traccar.xml I set a custom service in /etc/systemd/system/traccar-custom.service with this info:

[Unit]
Description=Traccar GPS Tracking Server
After=network.target mysql.service postgresql.service

[Service]
Type=simple
WorkingDirectory=/var/www/traccar
ExecStart=/usr/bin/java -jar /var/www/traccar/target/tracker-server.jar -config /var/www/traccar/setup/traccar.xml
User=root
Restart=on-failure
RestartSec=10

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

Then restart the traccar service

sudo systemctl restart traccar-custom.service

and check the status

sudo systemctl status traccar-custom.service
# or
sudo tail -f /var/www/traccar/logs/tracker-server.log

That's not the correct way of providing the config file. Where did you find this format?

That is the way that work for me. I'm using a Traccar Droplet from DigitalOcean (with nginx), and the service is based in the idea from https://github.com/traccar/traccar/blob/master/setup/traccar.service

If this is not an optimal way, what it is?

It has nothing to with optimal or non optimal. It's simply invalid. You have non-existent -config parameter there. Where did you get it from? It doesn't exist in the file you're referencing from our GitHub.

You are right. I don't know why it was working (with the flag). I have removed the -config, restart the service and check for errors, but everything is ok again (as always).

- ExecStart=/usr/bin/java -jar /var/www/traccar/target/tracker-server.jar -config /var/www/traccar/setup/traccar.xml
+ ExecStart=/usr/bin/java -jar /var/www/traccar/target/tracker-server.jar /var/www/traccar/setup/traccar.xml

I think that Claude 3.7 Sonnet Thinking has some bad info (or it was not trainned well), hehehe
