Unable to Install Traccar Server

Hello,

I followed the instructions on Link .

Including a completely new droplet, and Tried the same instructions on a different OpenVZ based VPS.

I am just not able to install using those commands, Am I missing something, Has there been any changes to this method?

Thanks in Advance for any help

Hi Vimal,

What operating system are you using? Ubuntu 16.04, 18.04 or other? What error are you seeing if any or at which point are you having a problem?

Hello Vimal,

Try placing :8082 when you finish your IP address of your server or droplet.
Example : http://206.189.67.175:8082/

When I go to IP address or IP address:8082 it says site cannot be reached.

Hi Vimal,

Is the firewall on the server enabled? Please type the following command:

ufw status

This will either say "inactive" or "active" and list firewall rules. If it is inactive you will need to open the port for Traccar by typing:

ufw allow 8082

Otherwise, please restart traccar by running:

/opt/traccar/bin/stopDaemon.sh

then

/opt/traccar/bin/startDaemon.sh

then share the output here.

It may be that your server isn't connecting to mysql properly.

sorry, i mean't to say if the firewall is ACTIVE not inactive you will need to open the port

Thanks for the help.

Firewall is Inactive

I have pasted the whole list of command and output in this link - https://pastebin.com/zTcqcDn0

Sorry i dont mean to make you read the whole thing, But i feel it may help you narrow down the issue better and help me in turn.

Thank You

You need to check logs properly.

Hey Anton,

I couldnt understand where I went wrong, If you can tell me which log are asking me to look at that would be great.

Thank You,
Vimal Tank

You need to check wrapper log.

wrapper pid file: /run/wrapper.traccar.pid - org.rzo.yajsw.os.posix.PosixService getPid

is this the one you referring to?

Thanks for taking the time to help.

I'm referring to wrapper log file.

    <entry key='database.user'>root</entry>
    <entry key='database.password'>root</entry>

looks likes the issue!
I do see an error in mysql connection

Let me see if I can get it fixed based on this

Genuis!!!

It solved my concern

I have same problem,,how did you solve this problem??
