Error Starting Daemon

[Reuben Lewis]

I'm having an error pop up when I'm trying to start my Gerrit website that seems to be connected to Polygerrit. My configuration is the base configuration, with the only difference being some configs for LDAP support. Could that cause this issue?

Here's the error that occurs:

How is your gerrit.canonicalURL defined? 

[Reuben Lewis]

It's defined as http://gerritreview:8080. It's not the computer name. 

[Reuben Lewis]

It looks like changing that to back to the computer's name allowed the daemon to start using the manual java command. Now to figure out why the shell script isn't working.....
