How to determine why ankiserverctl not running

[Kyle Goetz]

I have successfully installed (as far as I can tell) AnkiServer. When I execute

>ankiserverctl.py start

there is no error message. If I immediately follow up with ankiserverctl.py stop I get a message telling me there is no process to stop. If, after issuing the start command, I check with netstat, the AnkiServer port (27701?) is not occupied/in use/open.

So how do I determine what's going on? Executing ankiserverctl.py gives me a few command line options, but nothing that could show an error log or anything. No error message shows up on screen. How can I troubleshoot this?

Thanks.

Oh, Python 2.7 on Ubuntu.

This is a really good question! It came up recently on another thread too:

https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/anki-sync-server/OaOadyGmzAE

Unfortunately, ankiserverctl.py was contributed by jdoe0 on GitHub, and I'm not that familiar with how it works. I don't use it, personally - I use paster or supervisord. But I'll take a look at it when I have chance.

However, in the meantime, I'd recommend trying to use paster to run the Anki Server instead. For example:

  paster serve production.ini

That should give you an error. You might have to setup logging to get the full details, but try with paster first.

I hope that helps!

BTW, jdoe0 implemented a new "ankiserverctl.py debug" command just for this purpose!

https://github.com/dsnopek/anki-sync-server/pull/14

If you pull the latest version from Git, you'll have it available.

Best regards,

David.
