Server Not Starting???

[thefirstofthe300 291]

I have a problem that just creeped up on me out of nowhere.

 

Server is Arch Linux with the latest everything running my AUR package.

 

The server won't start and instead throws this error into my systemd log:

 

One or more errors occured

The especially weird part is that the problem did not exist until I just restarted the server.  I had the server updated and everything was working just fine.  I have reinstalled the server to attempt to fix it: no dice.

 

Any ideas?

I wonder if that is the same thing we saw a while back with the address trying to restart to soon to it shutting down so it got denied by itself

 

have you tried to see if anything is binding to the *:8096 port ? or looked if there is an crashed mb3 process in the background?

OK.  My output from the ss command shows that something is listening on port 8096.  Also, I have a mono process running in the background but no MB process that I can see.

Also not sure if this has anything to do with the server going down but I had just decided that I would like to store all of the metadata in the folders with the videos and had made that switch.  It was very soon after that that I restarted the server.

[thefirstofthe300 291]

Hmm.  I guess something else in my server must have crashed.  I did a reboot and all of my problems disappeared.  

 

Funny though.  I rebooted in the middle of all of this too and it didn't help.
