I’m trying to setup my own server and for the most part, all steps ran smoothly except for the very last one:

bin/start
Staying in ENABLED mode
Starting daemons
No daemons for this host found - check host name in config.xml

Does

No daemons for this host found - check host name in config.xml

mean the server isn’t working? I did check config.xml and I got “localhost” as host. (see below for more details)

I tried setting up an application anyway to see it worked but nothing happens. When I have a client join the project and request new updates I get the “got 0 new tasks”.

Any ideas? Thanks

Note: ip isn’t x.x.x.x, I just deleted the actual one.

Just a quick sanity check:

<download_url>http://x.x.x.x.158:8080/test/download</download_url>
<upload_url>http://x.x.x.x.158:8080/test_cgi/file_upload_handler</upload_url>

Should these two lines read

<download_url>http://x.x.x.158:8080/test/download</download_url>
<upload_url>http://x.x.x.158:8080/test_cgi/file_upload_handler</upload_url>

or

<download_url>http://x.x.x.x:8080/test/download</download_url>
<upload_url>http://x.x.x.xx:8080/test_cgi/file_upload_handler</upload_url>

My bad, it would be:

<download_url>http://x.x.x.x:8080/test/download</download_url>

I just omitted to delete that .158

I found the problem by looking into the bin/start script.

So, the problem was a mismatch between

<host>localhost</host>

and the hostname of the host device. So, basically the output of the hostname command has to match the name specified in config.xml.
