reef-pi :: An opensource reef tank controller based on Raspberry Pi.

I changed the lighting tab to read jacks.

Now it wontstart or i cant open the webpage for it. I can open it but everything is blank.

Heres the log and config.

 

[Ranjib]

You have wrong configuration, and reef-pi is failing to start. exmple config: https://github.com/reef-pi/reef-pi/blob/master/build/reef-pi.yml
delete reef-pi database and restart it

If you notice the output of `systemctl status reef-pi.service`, it says reef-pi failed to start due to wrong configuration at like 53. Check whats in that line of the config.yml file

So this affects all prior builds? I have had reef-pi down a couple days as I am doing some rewire work.

All build from 7.0 release till master. I would say install the same release that you were using if you need reef-pi working right now. If you can deal with some playing with configuration, its fine to install the latest version.

I have deleted that and replaced it with the one you pointed too.
Still a no go.
But i didnt not change the file like you posted back earlier. So i think im not on the right channel yet.

After changing the config.yml heres the following errors i get in the log.

@Brad Cox maybe try installing .6 and play around for a bit till Ranjib has it dialed in this weekend.

Does it work out of thebox?

 

[Aaron Smith]

It should. Make sure your pwm pins are on 0 and 1 terminals which is what reef-pi config file is by default. Post a full shot of your config.

yup there is an example early on where ranjib showed me how to uninstall purge and reinstall a new version. I will try to find that unless @Ranjib chimes in first.

Just remove it using 'apt-get remove reef-pi ' and install using 'dpkg -i reef-pi....deb' . This should work. Remember to install the pi3 package,

No good. It gives an error

This is what Ranjib posted when I wanted to purge the old and reinstall clean.

You can almost always reset every thing by purging the old installation (instead of just uninstalling it, which keeps the old configuration file), like this:
```
sudo apt-get remove reef-pi --purge
```
to be extra sure , you can also manually remove them
```
sudo rm -rf /var/lib/reef-pi /etc/reef-pi

@Brad Cox early on during like .4 I installed and uninstalled more times than I can count do to mistakes I made in the config file that caused issues. Keep going and you will get it.

Got it!
My 0-5v is only 0-3.2v.

Is that ok?

weird......

are you plugged into the 3v terminal instead of the 5v?
is your slider to 100% if so drop it down slightly then move back up.
