Daemon startup error

[zanora]

I'm currently trying to reinstall sabnzbd 0.7.7 on my readynas through commandline after a reformat and running into a error. I'm having a issue where if i try to start sabnzbd through daemon I get a "Sorry, requires Python 2.5, 2.6 or 2.7" error. Note that I'm using the boilerplate init.d file from http://forums.sabnzbd.org/viewtopic.php?t=2013&start=0 with the correct information fill out. I do have Python 2.7.3 installed and have checked with "python -V". It is also the only version of python installed. sabnzbd does run if I do open it with "python SABnzbd.py".
Thanks

Just checking: Is readynas using Ubuntu or Debian?

Can you post the exact init.d file you're using (you can wipe out a password used)

[zanora]

It's a x86 debian etch.

Code: Select all

#! /bin/sh
### BEGIN INIT INFO

exit 0

OK. What happens when you execute the command below from the command line:

Code: Select all

/usr/bin/sudo -u root -H /c/.SABnzbd/SABnzbd.py -d -f /root/.sabnzbd/sabnzbd.ini

[zanora]

I get the "Sorry, requires Python 2.5, 2.6 or 2.7." error.

[sander]

I get the "Sorry, requires Python 2.5, 2.6 or 2.7." error.

So ... does that ring a bell? If not, run the two commands below and post the output here:

Code: Select all

sander@R540:~$ /usr/bin/sudo -u root python --version
Python 2.7.3
sander@R540:~$ 

sander@R540:~$ /usr/bin/sudo -u root which python
/usr/bin/python
sander@R540:~$ 

[zanora]

Yeah. This is what I get.

Code: Select all

nas-F9-1E-CC:/# /usr/bin/sudo -u root python --version
Python 2.7.3
nas-F9-1E-CC:/# /usr/bin/sudo -u root which python    
/usr/local/bin/python

[shypike]

Start Python and type in this mini-program:

Code: Select all

import sys
print sys.version_info

What is the output?

[sander]

Aha ... location of python binary ...

What is the output of:

Code: Select all

head /c/.SABnzbd/SABnzbd.py

I think "/usr/bin/python", and that would be the root cause. Solution would be to put 'python' in the calling line, possibly something like:

Code: Select all

/usr/bin/sudo -u root -H python /c/.SABnzbd/SABnzbd.py -d -f /root/.sabnzbd/sabnzbd.ini

Can you try that from the command line first?

Not sure if this is useful, but I did get sickbeard, couchpotato and headphones to properly start up on boot. Still having issues with sabnzbd tho. Thought it was worth mentioning since they all run python.

[sander]

OK, and what happens when you run the command I gave you?

/usr/bin/sudo -u root -H python /c/.SABnzbd/SABnzbd.py -d -f /root/.sabnzbd/sabnzbd.ini

[zanora]

Oh cool. That did the trick and sabnzbd is up and running. Thanks sander.

[sander]

Oh cool. That did the trick and sabnzbd is up and running. Thanks sander.

OK, cool.

To fully understand the problem: What is the output of:

Code: Select all

ls -al /usr/bin/python

/usr/bin/python --version

[zanora]

Code: Select all

nas-F9-1E-CC:~# ls -al /usr/bin/python
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 9 2013-01-01 21:24 /usr/bin/python -> python2.4

Try `python -h' for more information.

hmm python 2.4? that's interesting

[sander]

Interesting? Annoying! ;-)

If python 2.4 is not needed anymore, the link could be better to python 2.7.
