ERROR when starting jvb

SeveHo · 2019-02-12 09:51:35 UTC

Hi,

have a manual installation of jitsi and upgraded to the latest stable of all packages.
My package versions including Java are now:
openjdk-8-jdk-headless
jitsi-videobridge_1104-1
jicofo_1.0-451-1
jitsi-meet-web_1.0.3186-1
jigasi_1.0-217

But when I start the jvb I get the following error from the jvb.log:
Error: Could not find or load main class $JVB_EXTRA_JVM_PARAMS

The JAVA_SYS_PROPS variable is configured like this:
JAVA_SYS_PROPS="$JVB_EXTRA_JVM_PARAMS -Dnet.java.sip.communicator.SC_HOME_DIR_LOCATION=/etc/jitsi -Dnet.java.sip.communicator.SC_HOME_DIR_NAME=videobridge -Dnet.java.sip.communicator.SC_LOG_DIR_LOCATION=/var/log/jitsi -Djava.util.logging.config.file=/etc/jitsi/videobridge/logging.properties"

My installation worked before and I did not change anything inside the config files of the jvb, prosody etc.

Did someone face the same problem or have an idea what the problem could be?

Thanks in advance!

Delete that variable. Interesting is that when you upgrade packages with apt that should be removed.

           echo >> $CONFIG
           echo '# adds java system props that are passed to jvb (default are for home and logging config file)' >> $CONFIG
           echo "JAVA_SYS_PROPS=\"-Dnet.java.sip.communicator.SC_HOME_DIR_LOCATION=/etc/jitsi\

       # unused old parameter, systemd unit files does not resolve bash variables,
       # and this breaks startup script
       sed -i 's/\$JVB_EXTRA_JVM_PARAMS//g' $CONFIG


       if ! grep -q "org.jitsi.videobridge.AUTHORIZED_SOURCE_REGEXP" "$NEW_JITSI_CONFIG" ;then
           echo "org.jitsi.videobridge.AUTHORIZED_SOURCE_REGEXP=focus@auth.${JVB_HOSTNAME}/.*" >> $NEW_JITSI_CONFIG
       fi


       # we don't want to start the daemon as root
       if ! getent group jitsi > /dev/null ; then
           groupadd jitsi
       fi
       if ! getent passwd jvb > /dev/null ; then

Jep that fixed the issue.

The problem why it wasn’t deleted is because we are changed the config after the apt installation. And the variable was still in our config.

I will definitely try to move away from the manual installation.

Anyways, Thank you for your help @damencho!

Files in /etc/jitsi/… will not be overridden, if there is something like that the debian packages installation shows warning to user and shows diffs.
