Webiopi loop doesn't work in autostart mode (sudo update-rc.d webiopi defaults)

[trilaci...@gmail.com]

I have setup a macro which helps me to update the UI of the webpage with the values read from serial. And it works perfectly when I run the program using the command: 

sudo webiopi -d -c /etc/webiopi/config

But when I enabled autostart using the command: 

sudo update-rc.d webiopi defaults

the loop() doesn't seem to work. I checked this using Inspect Element in browser, and I could see that the POST requests are all successful. Since the loop is not running, the data I receive is None. And that's why I could see no updates in my webpage. 

How can I resolve this issue?

Thanks

I am guessing your os is jessie

enter   cat /etc/os-release  to be sure.

Jessie does not use  init; therefore, the script  /etc/init.d/webiopi or update-rc.d webiopi defaults  does not work correctly, you need to follow this link  ...

Then you need to use :

sudo webiopi -d -c /etc/webiopi/config   // to debug

sudo systemctl start webiopi                // to start in background

sudo systemctl stop webiopi                // stop 

sudo systemctl enable webiopi             // to start at boot

sudo systemctl disable webiopi            // to cancel start at boot 

tail -f -n 50 /var/log/webiopi                  // view running log info
