Failed to Startup Gerrit

[Steve Tso]

Hi guys,

I would like to ask for your help in solving the problem after the installation.

I have followed the quick install guide and the following steps are completed.

1. Gerrit Init. Files are copied and created in site folder.
2. Schema is created
3. Index is created with reindex command

When I tried to startup "gerrit.sh start", gerrit cannot be started up.

Message:

Starting Gerrit Code Review: FAILED

In the logs folder, I can find one file (gerrit.pid) only.

I tried to run the gerrit.sh with -x and here is the output.

Hope guys here could help.

Many many thanks in advance.

Regards,

Steve

I could able to startup he gerrit with the following command:

java -jar /opt/gerrit/review/bin/gerrit.war daemon -d /opt/gerrit/review/ --show-stack-trace

But I unable to start with "gerrit.sh start"

Really dunno why.....

[Michał Sochoń]

Did you create gerrit2 user and did you run
chown -R gerrit2:gerrit2 /opt/gerrit/review
also check out /var/log directroy for errors.

[Steve Tso]

Verified the "review" is installed by gerrit2.gerrit2 already.

I cannot find any logs by gerrit at /var/log

[Bassem Rabil]

The Gerrit logs in your case should be located at: /opt/gerrit/review/logs/. You can check error_log log file, this might give you hints where the application was stuck.

[Steve Tso]

When I start the gerrit with gerrit.sh, the gerrit did not start and there no error log at /opt/gerrit/review/logs/.

Later I tried to start with java command directly, the gerrit can be started properly and logs are found at /opt/gerrit/review/logs/.

I really have no idea why gerrit cannot be started with /opt/gerrit/review/bin/gerrit.sh start -d /opt/gerrit/review/

[Michał Sochoń]

try
gerrit.sh check

and verify it matches other settings.

Also you may try to use

gerrit.sh run

I think the config should be fine because the gerrit could be started up properly with java command directly. 

(but no with gerrit.sh start. Actually I suspect there is an issue on the perl command, which the java process cannot be started by the perl command)

I will try "gerrit.sh run" on Monday and see what will happen.

Thanks guys!

Hi guys,

I got a progress! 

Here is the parameters from gerrit.sh check

Checking arguments to Gerrit Code Review:

  GERRIT_SITE     =  /opt/gerrit/review

  GERRIT_CONFIG   =  /opt/gerrit/review/etc/gerrit.config

  GERRIT_PID      =  /opt/gerrit/review/logs/gerrit.pid

  GERRIT_TMP      =  /opt/gerrit/review/tmp

  GERRIT_WAR      =  /opt/gerrit/review/bin

  GERRIT_FDS      =  1024

  GERRIT_USER     =  gerrit2

  JAVA            =  /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.7.0-openjdk-1.7.0.65.x86_64/jre/bin/java

  JAVA_OPTIONS    =  

  RUN_EXEC        =  /usr/bin/perl -e '$x=$ENV{JAVA};exec $x @ARGV;die $!' -- GerritCodeReview

  RUN_ARGS        =  -jar /opt/gerrit/review/bin daemon -d /opt/gerrit/review

When I try to run gerrit.sh run, there is an error:

Running Gerrit Code Review:

Error: Invalid or corrupt jarfile /opt/gerrit/review/bin

Steve

This is definitly wrong, it should be the full path to the war file, e.g. /opt/gerr/review/bin/gerrit.war.

Hi Björn,

Thanks!! That's the root cause.

There is a mistake and influenced by a wrong config file at /etc/default/gerritcodereview

I deleted the file /etc/default/gerritcodereview and I could start with gerrit.sh

Thanks.

Steve
