Hi Eric,
First, can you see error or warning messages in openhab.log system logs ?
I'm migrating openhab to an Odroid U3 running Ubuntu 14.04 server image. Openhab starts well with the joint init files. May be you can update an try it ?
What I've done is :
- create a folder /opt/openhab-1.6.0-Snapshot_20140806 (snapshot from cloudbee, run fine with OH 1.5 too)
- copy my config and DBs from my running OH environment
- create a symlink (ln -s openhab-1.6.0-Snapshot_20140806 openhab)
- create an openhab user (adduser openhab)
- change owner (chown openhab.openhab -R openhab-1.6.0-Snapshot_20140806)
- make sure user an group can write to any file or folder (chmod ug+w -R openhab-1.6.0-Snapshot_20140806)
Just to let you know, I've got an error with the "mirror" exec which is compiled for amd64, not armhf. This cause OH startup script to display [OK] but to fail few seconds later. You can have a look at a non existing or access denied to a script called in your OH init.
Hope this'll help.
Gilles
